Following the successful completion of the Wider Law Enforcement project in 2007-8, Skills for Justice has appointed The Management Standards Consultancy to carry out a review of the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Policing and Law Enforcement and develop new NOS to fill identified gaps.
There are seven strands to the project:
- Protection of Witnesses and other Persons
- Police Search
- Covert Activities
- Critical Incident Management
- Public Order
- Disaster Victim Identification and Casualty Bureaux
- Customer and Community Focus.
Following research in July 2009, NOS were drafted together with subject matter experts between August and October and exposed to wider consultation during November and December. Refinements are now being made to the NOS with a view to their being accredited in March 2010.
