Officials from the Drone and Anti-Drone Unit of the Kosovo Police have successfully completed a specialized Training of Trainers (TiT) program aimed at enhancing operational and instructional capacities in drone usage.
The training, supported by the HAPE Project, was conducted over two phases between March and April. The first phase, held from March 23 to 27, focused on academic preparation and curriculum development for future instructors. The second phase, from April 13 to 24, included both trainer certification and basic drone operation training for new candidates.
A total of 12 participants were certified. Six individuals — including five police officers and one customs official from the Kosovo Customs — successfully completed the trainer-level program, equipping them to deliver further training within their respective institutions. The remaining six participants completed the basic drone training.
The program took place at the Special Units Camp “Vrella,” near Pristina International Airport, and was carried out in line with planned objectives and operational standards.
According to organizers, the initiative marks a significant step toward strengthening internal training capabilities and ensuring long-term development of professional skills in drone operations across Kosovo’s security institutions.
Authorities also expressed gratitude to French instructors for their expertise and contribution, as well as to the HAPE Project for its continued support.
