Course Outline

Day 1: Foundations of Military and Law Enforcement Protocol

Objectives:
• Understand the hierarchy and command structures in military and law enforcement contexts
• Identify key protocols for communication, reporting, and escalation
• Apply standard operating procedures for routine and emergency situations
• Distinguish between protocol requirements for different operational environments

Topics:
• Introduction to protocol: definition, purpose, and importance
• Chain of command and authority levels
• Standard communication protocols (radio codes, phonetic alphabet, brevity codes)
• Reporting procedures: incident reports, situation reports, and after-action reviews
• Escalation protocols: when and how to escalate
• Emergency response protocols: immediate actions and coordination
• Ethical and legal considerations in protocol application
• Case studies: protocol successes and failures

Practicals

3 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply protocol knowledge in simulated scenarios. They practice communication, reporting, and decision-making under realistic conditions to reinforce theoretical learning.

Practical Activities
  • Radio Communication Drill — Learners practice using standard radio procedures, including call signs, phonetic alphabet, and message formatting in a simulated operational environment. (1h)
  • Incident Reporting Exercise — Learners complete a simulated incident report based on a scenario, including gathering facts, filling out a standard report form, and submitting it through proper channels. (1h)
  • Emergency Response Simulation — Learners respond to a simulated emergency scenario (e.g., active threat or natural disaster) applying escalation and coordination protocols. (1h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
Final Total 100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Practicals 30% + Daily Average 20% + Final Test 50%).

How it works
