This unit describes the skills required to manage threat assessments and risk reporting in a policing environment. It includes identifying threats, determining vulnerability, developing and documenting threat assessment strategies, and implementing and monitoring risk reporting strategies.

This unit would be implemented during threat assessments in support of all stages of the risk management cycle and models within a policing environment. These include responses to work health and safety (WHS) risks, risks to the organisation's reputation, and risks to the completion of intelligence projects.

This unit applies to police staff who identify and describe threats in consultation with stakeholders, analyse and evaluate such threats to identify appropriate risk reporting strategies and to provide progress reports to stakeholders.

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 associated with threat assessment and risk management.

Those undertaking this unit would demonstrate strong autonomy in the course of performing complex tasks in a broad range of contexts.

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

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the POL Police Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
