U januaru 2015.g., Centar za sigurnosne studije (CSS) je, u partnerstvu sa još četiri organizacije civilnog društva iz regije, formirao mrežu POINTPULSE s ciljem nadgledanja borbe protiv korupcije u policijama Zapadnog Balkana. Organizacije koje, pored CSS-a, učestvuju u ovom projektu su Beogradski centar za bezbednosnu politiku (BCBP), Balkanska istraživačka mreža (BIRN) iz Beograda, Institut Alternativa (IA) iz Podgorice i Kosovski centar za bezbjednosne studije (KCSS) iz Prištine.
U martu 2016. godine uključuju se još dvije članice – Analitika iz Skopja i Institut za demokratiju i medijaciju (IDM) iz Tirane.
Projekat ima za cilj da doprinese jačanju povjerenja građana u institucije za provedbu zakona na Zapadnom Balkanu kroz borbu protiv korupcije u policiji ipromovisanje odgovornosti policije.
Specifični cilj je uspostavljanje regionalne mreže za civilni nadzor integriteta policije na Zapadnom Balkanu, koja je osposobljena da prati i javno zagovara ideju odgovornog rada policije.
Projekat predviđa sljedeće aktivnosti:
- uspostavljanje regionalne mreže organizacija civilnog društva Puls integriteta i povjerenja u policiju na Zapadnom Balkanu (POINTPULSE)
- razvijanje metodološkog okvira za procjenu integriteta policije
- nadzor i procena integriteta policija na Zapadnom Balkanu (uključujući istraživanja javnog mnjenja, objavljivanje analiza, nacionalnih izveštaja i godišnjeg
- izveštaja)
