Additional Information:
Lectures will impart the knowledge to students. The directed study will reinforce and consolidate the knowledge. Workshops will contain exercises and scenarios to examine application. Where relevant and appropriate the concept of evidence based policing will be introduced and its relevance explained. There will also be reference to the College of Policing 'What Works' facility. National Policing Curriculum Indicative Content Response Policing 1.1 Purpose of, and evidence base for, response policing 1.2 Relevance of the following to response policing: • The Code of Ethics • National Decision Model (NDM) • National Intelligence Model (NIM) 1.3 Role of others, including call takers, control room staff, duty inspector 1.4 Meeting public views and expectations of police contact: • Public scrutiny and perceptions • Management of community expectations • Maintaining professional standards 1.5 Key considerations in response policing: • Safeguarding • Intelligence • Investigation • Variations to response approach for different environments e.g. care homes • Use of crime pattern analysis 1.6 Effective use of technology in response policing: • To lower policing risk • To ease administrative burden • To improve investigative opportunities • To save time • To improve efficiency • To interrogate information systems quickly and effectively 1.7 Use of body-worn video, including the positive and negative aspects of its use 2.1 The police’s role to protect the public: duty of care 2.2 Types of common incidents that first responders may attend: • Non crime-related • Crime-related 2.3 Types of crime: • Volume and priority crime • Evolving/increasing areas of crime e.g. child sexual exploitation (CSE), human trafficking/slavery, fraud and cybercrime • Serious and complex crime e.g. murder, kidnapping, serial GBH, Organised Crime Groups (OCGs) 3.1 Definition of ‘public order’ 3.2 Offences associated with public order contrary to the Public Order Act 1986, Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and Criminal Justice Act 2003, including: • Riot • Violent disorder • Affray • Fear or provocation of violence • (Intentional) harassment, alarm or distress • Racially or religiously aggravated • Aggravation related to disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity 3.3 Role of police in public order incidents 4.1 What is meant by the terms 'search' and 'search objectives' 4.2 Establishing whether there are grounds for a lawful search or a lawful entry and search 4.3 Establishing the authority for the search before starting a search 4.4 Limitations when carrying out a search 5.1 Definition of a 'stop and search' under Section1 PACE 1984 5.2 Difference between a 'stop and account' and a 'stop and search' 5.3 Importance of employing an ethical 'stop and search' process according to the Best Use Of the Stop & Search Scheme 5.4 Potential impact of a 'search' or 'stop and search' on individuals and the community 6.1 Definition of a 'critical incident' and 'major incident' 6.2 Difference between a critical incident and a major incident 6.3 Who can declare a major incident 6.4 Command structure at a major incident 7.1 Introduction to, and rationale for, the Joint Emergency Services interoperability Programme (JESIP) 7.2 JESIP principles 7.3 Role of police on attendance at an incident 7.4 Improvements made to interoperability between the emergency services since the inception of JESIP 8.1 Police occupational culture 8.2 Police integrity and corruption 8.3 Police diversity 8.4 Cross-cultural differences within society 8.5 Policing marginalised people 8.6 Public perceptions: • Fear of crime and perceptions of safety • Satisfaction and confidence • Procedural justice • Legitimacy 9.1 High profile examples of critical and major incidents 9.2 Lessons learned from these incidents 9.3 How this affects joint interoperability in future similar incidents 9.4 Use of emotional intelligence 10.1 Instances when JESIP comes into operation e.g. a major in
