International Consultant on AI Intelligence Analysis in Law Enforcement _(SSA)

Background:

In May 2026, the OSCE Mission in Kosovo (the OSCE), through the Department for Security and Public Safety (DSPS), will organize a three-day specialised training course on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in law enforcement for 25 analyst officers from the Kosovo Police (KP) Directorate of Intelligence and Analysis (DIA) who previously participated in the Mission-supported OSINT training stream. The training will be delivered by an international AI expert and will focus on the responsible and operational use of AI-enabled analytical tools, including social media analysis, crime mapping, anomaly detection, and advanced data-processing techniques, while integrating legal, ethical, privacy, and human-rights-compliant safeguards. The activity aims to strengthen the KP’s analytical capacities and enhance the quality, consistency, and strategic relevance of intelligence products in support of the implementation of the forthcoming Integrated Intelligence-Led and Community Policing Strategy and Action Plan (2026–2030).

The training will further develop the participants’ ability to interpret and analyse complex digital data, identify emerging crime patterns and AI-enabled threats, and apply advanced analytical methods to support intelligence-led, evidence-based policing. Building on the Mission’s OSINT capacity-building support, this activity represents a logical next step toward more advanced, data-driven policing methodologies, reinforcing critical thinking, structured analysis, and informed decision-making across analytical functions. By strengthening AI-capable analytical skills within the DIA, the training will improve the KP’s institutional readiness to address challenges linked to digital platforms, online harm, disinformation, and technology-enabled crime, while ensuring accountability, transparency, and respect for fundamental rights.

The added value of engaging an international AI expert lies in the expert’s specialised knowledge and practical experience in applying AI tools within law enforcement contexts, as well as in embedding safeguards related to oversight, algorithmic bias, and proportionality. Through this training, the expert will support the transfer of contemporary best practices, promote responsible and rights-based use of AI, and contribute to the progressive institutionalisation of AI-supported analytical techniques within the KP. The Mission will engage an international AI expert to conduct the training and will cover all related costs, including the venue, refreshments, and training materials.

Objective of Assignment: 

This training will equip 25 KP DIA officers with the knowledge and practical skills to responsibly apply AI tools in intelligence analysis. It will enable them to analyse complex digital data, identify emerging crime patterns and AI-enabled threats, and produce higher-quality intelligence products in support of intelligence-led, evidence-based policing and strategic decision-making.
