Specialist Operations • Operational Response Programme
Armed Reaction Skills
Developing Disciplined, Professional and Responsible Response Personnel
Armed response personnel frequently arrive first at incidents where uncertainty, time pressure and risk combine to demand disciplined judgement and effective teamwork.
This programme develops the operational awareness, communication, planning and procedural understanding required of personnel engaged in professional armed response duties.
Programme Overview
Effective armed response requires considerably more than rapid arrival at an incident. Personnel must understand their responsibilities, prepare correctly, communicate accurately, assess developing situations and operate within organisational procedures and legal responsibilities.
This programme develops a structured understanding of the operational environment within which armed response personnel perform their duties.
The programme is intended to complement accredited operational and legal training rather than replace statutory competency requirements.
