Response is the backbone of the LSPS, whilst also being one of its most diverse units. Members of Response are given many opportunities for personal development and progression, ranging from exclusive specialised trainings to the ability to join specialised response teams.
Response’s general duties include responding to emergency 999 calls and supporting LSPS operations / major incidents.
Unlike other units, response officers are given the opportunity to:
Undergo further training such as Advanced Driver, DSU or MPO (1 week after PC)
Undergo sub-division trainings in NPAS and PSU (2 weeks after PC)
Ability to undergo FTOC Training (2 weeks after PC)
Ability to join response sub units such as Rural Crime Patrol Team and Scenes of Crime Officer Forensics Training (1 week after PC)
Hold multiple trainings in multiple specialisations at the same time
To be able to transfer out of Response you must:
• Have training in NPAS or DSU,
• Have training in MPO,
• Be an Advanced Driver,
• Be trained in PSU basic,
• Be in Response for at least 30 days.
You may not transfer units out of Response until ALL of these conditions are met however; for those wishing to transfer into CID the Advanced Driver training is not required, this is due to CID not carrying such driving levels or standards & not wishing to put the trainers through, what may be perceived to be, a frivolous training. And for those wishing to transfer to Firearms, PSU training is not needed - same logic and reasoning follows this also.
Returning Officers:
Where an individual returns to the Police within 12 months of their removal, a transfer request to another unit may, on a case by case basis, be approved after 14 days rather than the standard 30 day period. To be eligible, the individual must have previously held at least the rank of PC and completed a minimum of 30 days within Response prior to leaving.
The Advance Driver Team is tasked in a wide range of traffic related situations from basic traffic enforcement and pursuits, to convoys and traffic checkpoints.
