Applied Policing Practicum 2 PEM211
Introduction
The Applied Policing Practicum 2 requires students to complete 960 hours of applied policing under supervision, and the completion of an Applied Policing Practicum portfolio [APPP], which documents the acquisition and certification of practical knowledge and skills taught during the residential component of the recruit training course. The APPP involves 70+ tasks that illustrate a student’s ability to put into practice the knowledge and skills explored in Level 1 and Level 2 units and at the police academy during the recruit course. These tasks may include submission of a public intoxication report, writing and submitting arrest reports and associated court files, attendance at and submission of a coroner’s investigation file, and similar professional tasks that a Constable commonly fulfils. As with any probation process, the student must complete tasks to the satisfaction of their workplace operational supervisor, and in their portfolios, students are required to provide evidence of their capacity to perform at the level of case analysis, report writing, practical reflection, and professional meticulousness expected at the rank of Constable. Students will be required to meet quarterly with their supervisor and/or Applied Policing Practicum Managers, at which time they will complete their two critical reflections as a basis for discussions about their progress. The progress on completion of tasks is reported on a quarterly basis by Recruit Training Services to the respective Divisional Inspector. Completion to a satisfactory level of 100% of the tasks is then reported to the University of Tasmania, and students will be recorded as having completed their practicum requirements. Students’ Critical Reflections will be submitted as part of their portfolios for review by their operational supervisors and uploaded to the link in the MyLO site for review by their academic supervisors.
