This unit describes the skills required to apply current legislation and undertake policing activities within judicial processes. This includes applying legislation related to offences, applying legislative powers, preparing judicial documents and participating in court proceedings.

This unit applies to those working in a policing environment, typically 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 police powers, court processes and procedures, and proofs of evidence.

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

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