PPP121 Simulated Policing - Acquiring Competence (4)
CSU Discipline Area: Policing, law enforcement & emergency management (POLEM)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject commences with an 80-hour police station placement in which students observe police undertaking general duties tasks. These observations will enable students to consolidate their learning from Session 1, and to contextualise better their forthcoming experiences in scenarios. Students must apply what they have learnt in other subjects to achieve satisfactory outcomes in policing problems and situations. The focus will be on the need, as is the case for police in the field, to 'get it right first time'. Students will be expected to continue to develop and demonstrate a reflective attitude to their practice.
