Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to carry out policing operations within a Defence environment.It includes exhibiting ethical standards and dealing with ethical problems.Persons undertaking this unit must possess and be able to apply a sound understanding of Defence and individual service ethics, values and principles. The ethical framework is particularly important under operational conditions where normal social values and norms can become clouded and obscured by operational priorities. The effectiveness of persons working in this field will be determined, in large, by their application and adherence to the ethical framework, principles and values under which they operate.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.In this situation, the person must be capable of displaying sound judgement in circumstances where professional and ethical ambiguities arise, or when there are conflicts of interest (such as the interests of service police, unit, service and/or wider community).This work is normally undertaken while working with an associate, but also includes the ability to work individually and independently when carrying out policing operations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
