Aims
The module is intended to ensure that DA's have the knowledge understanding and
skills to conduct more complex investigations, in a Response Policing context.
They will review the evidence base in this area and research how to implement and
develop practical solutions to provide effective policing methods in this area whilst
furthering their own competence within the pathway.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse specific challenges faced by response officers in more complex response
situations and contexts.
2.
Evaluate key social, political and strategic drivers impacting upon contemporary
response policing.
3.
Design strategies for how those involved in response policing can remain effective
in an increasingly challenging environment.
4.
Compare and contrast the evidence base specifically associated with responding
to major and critical incidents.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Reducing knife crime What constitutes a firearms incident Role of the NDM in firearms incidents Building trust - with the vulnerable e.g. homeless people, missing persons The 'pack mentality' and the actions of organised low-level crime syndicates Recording police action on social media How to increase police visibility and accessibility to the public Radicalisation and perceptions of the effectiveness of the 'prevent' strategy Impact of social and political change upon response policing How response policing adapts to reduced resources and financial constraints Analysing and reporting on issues such as: • Current policing awareness of social/community issues • Cultural/socio-political influences and change PEEL reports into police effectiveness Reforms required to enable the police service to fulfil its primary functions Potential impact of resourcing demands on policing: • Doing more with less money and fewer officers • Increasing and different demands e.g. mental health and social issues, technical/digital crime, extremism • Staffing levels, abstractions and availability • Maintaining morale when faced with extent and pace of change How response policing can deal with challenges posed by issues of resourcing How personal pressures generated by response policing can be alleviated: • Personal time management - balancing efficiency and effectiveness with professionalism and stress • Being proactive to help prevent or reduce crime and disorder • Personal coping strategies, including formal channels of support
