Issue Date: March 2024
This unit applies to correctional services staff working with offenders in prisons and secure custodial centres. With changes based on different organisation's needs, it can apply to specialist emergency units, escort services, specialist roles and to workers in the community where this function is part of the work role.
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to deal with the selection and use of firearms and the effective use of firearms to protect and minimise risk to people.
The unit replaces and is equivalent to CSCSAS011A Defend people by using firearms which was customised from the Asset Security Training Package.
