Module Aims
To introduce students to influences of modern society on policing, such as the use of technology and ‘digital policing’, and counter terrorism.
Content Summary
In this module, students will cover the key elements associated with digital policing and the terrorist threats prevalent in modern day society.
Through a blended learning approach that includes input from Force subject matter experts, students will discuss the local strategy for developing an effective digital policing capability and learn key terms associated with digital technology. This will include discussions around the prevalence of technology and devices in modern society and consideration of how technology may be used in everyday policing. Through case studies students will examine internet- facilitated crimes, considering individuals who may be especially vulnerable, and the role of the police constable in providing crime prevention advice for internet- facilitated crime. Immersive learning opportunities such as role plays and scenarios will allow students to provide an appropriate initial police response to an incident with a digital element.
Students will also consider terrorism related legislation and the role of front-line police community support officers in counter terrorism operations. Through the use of discussion and group exercises they will consider how to identify vulnerabilities and the importance of gathering and submitting intelligence to combat terrorist related threats. Initial response options at potential terrorist incidents will be delivered through a blend of simulation and immersive learning techniques.
