Application

This unit describes the skills required to perform and conduct reviews of policing practices in jurisdictions. This includes initiating, conducting and finalising reviews. Conducting reviews within a policing environment would usually involve planning and guiding the work of jurisdictional team members.

This unit applies to those working as a police officer in a designated investigation role.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to policing practices as specified in procedures and other documents.

Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously in the management of complex investigations, while collaborating with others in an investigation team. They would be required to possess strong decision making and problem solving skills, leadership abilities and robust communicative competence. They would be expected to display high level quality assurance abilities when reviewing policing practices, while performing sophisticated tasks in a wide range of policing contexts that can be unfamiliar.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
