PPP132 Officer Safety (8)
Abstract
This subject delivers the introductory operational safety and tactics required by the operational police practitioner. It introduces students to the ethical and professional application of basic self-defence, tactical options and incident management skills. It does this by requiring students to consider the theory and practice related to these skills, and to demonstrate the achievement of those skills within supervised practical applications.
It then also delivers more advanced operational safety and tactics required by the operational police practitioner. It introduces students to the ethical and professional application of higher-order skills in relation to hazardous self-defence, operational communication and the ethical use of arms and appointments. This is achieved by requiring students to consider the theory and practice underpinning the use of these skills and to demonstrate the application of those skills within supervised practical sessions.
