Security Officer Development • Professional Response Programme

Incident Management

Preparing Security Personnel to Respond with Structure and Confidence

Incidents seldom unfold according to a convenient script. Security personnel must recognise developing conditions, understand their responsibilities, apply site procedures and communicate clearly while circumstances are still evolving.

This programme develops the awareness, judgement and procedural discipline required to respond appropriately to emergencies and operational incidents.

Programme Overview

The Incident Management Programme introduces Security Officers to a structured approach for preventing, recognising, managing and reporting emergencies and operational incidents.

Particular emphasis is placed on preparedness, unsafe conditions, evacuation responsibilities, site-specific procedures and the disciplined actions required when an emergency develops.
