Aims
To allow students to understand the ‘role of constable’ in policing, how it relates to themselves and how their actions and decisions affect the legitimacy of policing. The module will secure student understanding of values and their importance within the ethics of policing. The module will explore the constitutional position of policing and how professionalising policing supports better outcomes. The module will develop understanding around critical and reflective thinking and learning.
Learning Outcomes

2.
Evaluate the importance of both critical thinking and reflection in the development of a professional police officer.
3.
Apply the Code of Ethics and the Human Rights Act in supporting the delivery of legitimate policing and meeting public expectations.
4.
Interpret how the concept of policing by consent has been shaped through the changes in policing.
5.
Critically appraise the importance of the professionalising policing agenda and analyse how it relates to both the Policing Vision 2025 and the Police Now Theory of Change.

Additional Information:
Lectures will provide the students with information and theories. Students will then utilise the process of Attestation to reflect upon how their personal values shape them and their professional development. Students will explore how ethics and ‘policing by consent’ contribute to the policing mission. Where relevant and appropriate the concepts of reflective practice, problem solving and resilience will be explored throughout the module.
This module outline must be read in conjunction with the module appendix and mapping spreadsheet, which details the National Policing Curriculum (NPC) content areas, learning outcomes and minimum content relating to each of the module learning outcomes, which can be found on the Module Key Information tab on Canvas.
