Project Overview

POL Police Training Package Release 10.0 will see the update of two qualifications within the Crash Investigation qualification stream. These updates will ensure that the products reflect the current and emerging requirements of police agencies. The Crash Investigation stream of qualifications outlines the skills of police officers to investigate and interpret road incidents involving a variety of vehicle types, pedestrians and other external environmental factors. This includes officers who manage incidents, gather evidence and provide their analysis for the investigation.

The update to the POL Police Training Package will be conducted in collaboration with the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA), the peak body of the policing industry within Australia and New Zealand.

Through the update of the Crash Investigation qualification stream, Public Skills Australia will support the Policing industry by:

• Increasing the use of products and ensuring they are implementable.
• Improving police officers’ safety through alignment with current practices and processes.
• Enhancing the capability of Police personnel to use evaluation and analysis techniques for motor vehicle incidents.

Technical Committee

Engagement with the Police sector is currently taking place. In accordance with the Training Package Products Development and Endorsement Process Policy, a Technical Committee has been stood up to provide advice on amendments to the POL Police Crash Investigation and Analysis qualifications. The Technical Committee will provide expert advice, grounded in evidence to assist in the design and development of the training products.
