A training exercise involving over 200 police officers and staff took place today.
Instructors from Probationer Training took new recruits to Indodrill Stadium in Alloa to participate in a day of sporting event focussed scenarios.
The day involved educating new recruits on the procedures involved with managing large groups of spectators, the appropriate use of legislation and dealing with identified offences.
Superintendent Steven Duncan, Head of Operational Training said: “This exercise has allowed our probationary officers to gain exposure to high pressure and demanding situations in a controlled learning environment. We are continually looking to develop the content of the probationer training curriculum to reflect current operational demands, ensuring our recruits are well equipped for the real-life scenarios they will face.
“We’re grateful to the management team at Alloa FC for allowing us to utilise their venue for this exercise”.
Police officers receive 18 weeks initial training at either the Police Scotland College, Tulliallan or our Jackton training facility, before being deployed operationally to communities across Scotland.
