This unit describes the skills required to supervise and protect the safety of individuals within the policing environment. It includes protecting the wellbeing of individuals within policing, acknowledging that the place of work for police officers differs depending on their role and location of policing functions.

This unit applies to those working as a police supervisor with responsibilities to protect the safety and welfare of individuals and teams.

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 work health and safety (WHS), roles and responsibilities, and support services.

Those undertaking this unit would demonstrate strong autonomy, making independent decisions and accessing support from a broad range of services. The individual would be responsible for supervising individuals and teams, providing guidance and assistance, and displaying leadership as part of routine command duties. They would perform complex tasks within familiar and/or unpredictable contexts.

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