BAHA-49 Response Accepted

Consistent Training Materials

Recommendation

Training materials across the Services need to be reviewed to ensure that the messages about all aspects of CPErS handling are clear and consistent. The arrangement whereby the PM(A) will act as a coordinator and validator of prisoner handling training should assist in bringing greater consistency.
