Unit of Competency POLGEN012 - Manage risk within a policing context
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to manage risk in a policing environment. Risks may include those related to operations, organisational reputation, and safety and welfare.This unit applies to police managers as part of their responsibilities in the organisational management within a policing environment.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 accountability, police legitimacy and transparency.Those undertaking this role would demonstrate strong autonomy while performing complex tasks including making strategic decisions and providing leadership to the jurisdiction in a broad range of contexts. They would provide advice and influence executive decision making internally and externally.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

This unit contains no specific industry-mandated assessment conditions. Guidance on suggested and recommended conditions and methods can be found in the Implementation Guide.

Consideration must be given to holistic assessment for this unit. Refer to advice in the companion volumes.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
