PPP106 Simulated Policing (Acquiring Confidence) and Weapons and Tactics 2 (4)
CSU Discipline Area: Policing, law enforcement & emergency management (POLEM)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject has two key aspects: Firstly, the simulated policing scenarios allow students to examine how the discrete skills and knowledge areas taught in other subjects come together in order to achieve appropriate policing outcomes. In these scenarios, the focus is principally upon integration of their skills and knowledge areas rather than competence in practice. Secondly, the subject delivers the introductory weapons and tactics required by operational police. It introduces students to the ethical and professional application of basic self-defence, tactical options and incident management skills.
