Aims
The module is intended to ensure that students have the knowledge, understanding and skills to conduct research into more complex issues, within the context of their own occupational pathway. Providing the opportunity to develop an ethically sound research question, and so develop appropriate empirical research methods to justify their choice of inquiry. The research should develop practical solutions to provide effective policing methods in this area whilst showing their competence as a police constable.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Formulate an ethically sound research question based on a critical reading of appropriate literature and previous research.
2.
By application of evidenced based research methods appropriate to their pathway, evidence an in- depth knowledge of their chosen field of study.
3.
Collect and critically analyse literature and empirical data related to the relevant pathway to study and plan an intervention in accordance with the standards of the University.
4.
Exhibit the ability to evaluate collected data and produce a relevant, accurate, coherent dissertation supplemented by a competent presentation of their research findings consistent with a policing context.
5.
Complete a professional discussion with an independent assessor about occupational
portfolio.
6.
Present evidence based research project methodology and outcomes to a panel and defend findings.

Additional Information:
Learning Hours will be 75 scheduled teaching and tutoring / 125 hours work-based 200 Hours self-study. Failure to complete the Portfolio to the required standard will prevent an apprentice from moving forward through the Gateway to the EPA.
This Module forms the End Point Assessment. The assessment elements (presentation) and assessing input link directly with the EPA and will be in line with the national requirements of the PRSB.
All assessed components on this module must be successfully passed for credit to be released.

The following Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours are demonstrated in this module:
Knowledge:
- The ethics and values of professional policing, including: duty of care, service delivery, employment practice, efficiency, effectiveness and value for money, Code of Ethics, professional standards, and equality, diversity and human rights.
- Key cross-cutting and inter-dependent areas of policing, including: roles and responsibilities, criminal justice, counter terrorism, vulnerability (including public protection and mental health) and risk.
- Systematically gather, submit and share information and intelligence to further policing-related outcomes
- Social behaviour and society, including their origins, development, organisation, networks and institutions and how this relates to policing across diverse and increasingly complex communities.
- The causes, mitigations and prevention of crime and how this knowledge and understanding can influence and be applied to accountable decision-making in all operational policing environments.
- In-depth knowledge, understanding and expertise relevant to organisational/local needs, including the following operational policing contexts: response, community, intelligence, investigation and roads/transport.
- Different approaches to systematic evidence-based preventative policing, including how to critically analyse, interpret, implement, share and evaluate findings to problem solve and further positive outcomes. These may relate to internal organisational practice or external social or criminal factors.
Skills:
- Communicate effectively, in accordance with the varied needs of differing situations, individuals, groups and communities. Use own communication skills to manage planned and uncertain situations, and to persuade / lead others as needed.
- Gather, handle and accurately analyse information and intelligence from a variety of sources to support law enforcement and to maximise policing effectiveness.
- Proactively introduce new ways of working and innovation to police work where appropriate and possible, and apply critical thinking across policing activities within own area of responsibility.
Behaviours:
- Curious and innovative - Have an inquisitive and outward-looking nature, searching for new information to understand alternative sources of best practice and implement creative working methods. Committed to reflecting on how own role is undertaken, learning from success and mistakes, to continuously review and adapt approach.
