This unit describes the skills required to provide policing responses, including performing proactive police duties, developing and applying knowledge of the local policing area, responding to incidents, and preserving scenes and evidence.

This unit applies to those working in a policing environment, commonly in a general duties role.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the current 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 incident response, command and control, emergency management and scene preservation.

Those undertaking this unit would primarily work independently or under limited or indirect supervision, while performing specific tasks in a broad range of contexts. They would be required to interpret behaviours, apply decision making and problem-solving skills and develop solutions.

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

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.
