Description
Purpose:
Security officers are often first despondence to violent assaults. The officer is expected to protect the victim and arrest the offender, then hand the offender over to the police. Knowing when to engage and not to engage is critical. Most officers attended a basic short self-defence lesson when they attended their security licensing course. Evidence has shown the self-defence and restraint, and control techniques are forgotten within a year after completing a course. Using unlawful force and restraining an offender could result in assault charges against the officer. There have been many cases in Victoria where offenders have died as a direct result of the officers’ restraining the offender using unlawful techniques. The risk of Work Cover claims, injuries and legal action can be minimised if your officers dothis course. Minimum of 4 hours, best results 8 hours.
Outcome:
Officers will develop the knowledge and skill to use lawful force that is non-violent, no punching, no kicking hospital code grey system. The code grey system has been tried and tested in the hospital code grey violent response teams, developed by security, doctors, nurses and the nurses’ union for over 30 years. This will increase the officer’s confidence and build a strong rapport amongst the security team.
