Tactical and Safety Training: Review of Evidence

In September 2021 the Frontline Safety Improvement Programme (FSIP) tasked the Evidence Based Policing Centre (EBPC) with a review of tactical and safety training. The review takes a broad look at tactical and safety training in the literature and in other jurisdictions; and covers areas such as skills included in the training, learning theories, skill decay and training evaluation. The purpose of this report was to gather and assess current literature of tactical and safety training in order to inform the new FSIP Tactical Response Model.
