This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out patrol operations. It requires the ability to assess situations for non-compliance, take appropriate actions, share and report intelligence and carry out follow-up activities.

The unit applies to individuals who undertake patrol operations to assess potential situations for non-compliance against state, territory and Commonwealth fisheries regulations, and potential risk to patrolling officers.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace. Licences may be required if operating vehicles or vessels.

Regulatory requirements apply to this unit. Users are required to check with the relevant jurisdiction for current requirements.
