Since the early 1960’s, the Australian Institute of Police Management (AIPM) has been integral in developing police leaders, with more than 6,500 senior officials from policing attending AIPM courses and events. The Institute has both a national and global profile and reputation, for example playing a key role in the international Global Policing Innovation Exchange (GPX) Program. The GPX plays an increasingly influential role in law enforcement across the world, allowing policing leaders to share ideas and initiatives. In this second video of four, Superintendent Joe Jaramazovic of Queensland Police, who is currently a Visiting Fellow at AIPM, tells us about that role - not least in providing mentorship and guidance to those attending courses and undertaking academic and professional study, thus helping others on their own, personal, leadership journey. He also discusses the challenges of recruitment, not just in Australia but also internationally: he describes work he has been doing with the UK's College of Policing to better understand and address these challenges.

Metro 11/6/2023 News Evaluation of Tactical Movement and Firearm Draw Performance During Charging Knife Attacks The study evaluated firearm draw performance (FDP), trigger cadence (TC), and survivability rate (SR) against charging knife attacks (KA) from different distances utilizing different movement tactics. Twenty active-duty law enforcement officers (age = 36.9± 10.6 y.) outfitted with wearable motion sensors and a practice pistol executed three randomized defensive tactics against an attacker charging from four distances armed with a rubber knife. FDP during the charging KA trials spanned between 0.87 and 1.19 s, compared to the baseline FDP (no duress) of 1.41 ± 0.3 s. TC was between 0.21 and 0.29 s to discharge two rounds. Using a firearm from 30 ft had 100% SR, 21 ft had 95% SR, 15 ft had 58.33% SR, and 10 ft had 15% SR. Backward (72.5%) was the safest movement response, followed by lateral (71.25%), then stationary (57.5%). Improving FDP around 1s, a lateral or backward movement in response to getting charged, and shortening the firearm draw, specifically at 21 ft and closer are recommended against KAs.

He is now software company Altia's Chief Information Officer. He recently met PolicingTV's Founder and Publisher, Bernard Rix, on Queensland's Gold Coast, to discuss a wide range of topics across policing, technology and inclusion. In this third of three videos, filmed on Orchid Avenue in Surfers Paradise, Brice and Bernard start their filming outside a tattoo parlour before crossing the road to the police station diagonally opposite. They explore whether having visible tattoos should prevent otherwise suitably qualified recruits from joining policing - Brice has a number of visible tattoos, and enjoyed a successful twenty year career in Queensland Police, so the conclusion of this discussion should not be a surprise. Brice then links the topic of tattoos to the wider topic of policing representing the community they serve - and to the core truth that "police officers are human beings, after all" PolicingTV 11/6/2023 Feature, Interview, Opinion, Video «133813391340134113421343134413451346Next ›Last » Upcoming events View all events
