This unit describes the skills required to coordinate multi-agency investigations including the strategic planning and coordination of multi-agency investigations budgets and other resources. It also includes identifying and providing operational security of an investigation, and post-investigation evaluation of the outcomes of a collaborative investigative exercise.

This unit applies to those working as a police officer in a designated investigation role, in a complex police operating environment where multi-agency cooperation is essential to performing a criminal investigation. The working environment would be highly sensitive to multiple risks to operations, participants and assets deployed in the investigation.

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 case management, work health and safety (WHS), information management, collaborative relationships, inter-agency contractual arrangements, operational security, financial and people resource management, authority delegations and communications and presentations.

Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously in the management of complex investigations, while collaborating with others in an investigation team. They would be required to possess strong decision making and problem solving skills, leadership abilities and robust communicative competence. They would perform sophisticated tasks in a range of highly sensitive contexts.

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

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.
