Advanced Diploma in Traffic and Metropolitan Policing

Learners are exposed to a range of outcomes that will ensure that they perform satisfactorily in senior positions in law enforcement agencies. Traffic crashes and crime pose a serious threat to society and often demand unique interventions from law enforcement practitioners. Law enforcement supervisors have to master various skills if they want to develop into professional law enforcement practitioners. Apart from being supervisors they have to interact with many internal and external stakeholders such as civil engineers, senior government employees, and communities. Law enforcement practitioners must: Attain a proper understanding of the basic principles of research.

• Acquire the knowledge to interpret data in order to identify issues that have to be remedied.
• Select the most appropriate responses from a wide range of possible interventions. The deployment of law enforcement personnel and the effective utilization of other resources is an important component of the work of law enforcement practitioners. Road policing is a function that is performed visibly and the performance of senior officers is severely compromised if they fail to internalise the intrinsic values of police practice.
