Operational support profiles

Supporting police officers and staff to understand the requirements of operational support roles.

First published

We're moving the policing professional profiles (PPP) to the College website. While this takes place, some roles from the PPP are only available on College Learn.

College Learn can only be accessed by those who work in policing as it requires you to log in. If you do not work in policing and want to view a role, please email: professionaldevelopment@college.police.uk.

If you have any other queries or would like to give any feedback about the PPP, please email: professionaldevelopment@college.police.uk.

Purpose

The operational support profiles include information about the responsibilities, behaviours, qualifications, skills and experience for roles in:

  • chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear
  • control centre
  • custody
  • disaster victim identification
  • firearms
  • public order
  • specialist operations

Exploring the operational support profiles

To help to map out progression routes, we've organised the roles in the operational support profiles into five levels.

1. Service deliverer roles

2. Team leader or technical lead roles

3. Manager or expert adviser roles

4. Service function lead roles

5. Force leader roles
