About Professional Practice

 

Professional practice can be understood as the idea of an individual’s knowledge about the career and the profession they work in. Professional practice, in relation to my level of commitment can be seen as providing the appropriate amount of attention to set tasks, and following all of the rules which have been set as my understanding of the professional standards within the field of the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF) is the, “Code of Conduct and Ethics” – which looks at 10 valuable areas that all individuals must comply with. I am looking at continuing what I am currently doing as a university student: to continue to learn and use that mentality as I pursue my career path.

About Interprofessionalism

My understanding of inter-professionalism is a group of individuals who hold different degrees or qualifications who work and communicate with one another. In relation to my understanding of inter-professionalism, I am able to determine that I agree with it. In agreeing with it on the basis that each individual who holds a different degree, is able to bring their knowledge and skills to be able to provide their opinion. Inter-professionalism is an important aspect in relation to policing so it can be used to allow all individuals, depending on their position, to provide their opinion and perspective on a certain topic.

About Ethical Practice

My understanding of Ethical Practice is the conduct that a certain industry holds and is expected to be held by its employers. In relation to my understanding of what ethical practice, I am able to say that this is an important aspect because it is the standard that all employees within that organisation should be presenting themselves. Hence, why the idea of ethical practice is an important aspect within the industry of the NSWPF because all police officers have a duty of care to all citizens and should be reflected in the way that they engage with the community that they serve.

Policing Graduate skill set and knowledge

  1. General Skills
    The wide range of skills in which I have obtained during my time at Western Sydney University, my current job and volunteering positions can be seen as transferable skills. Transferable skills, are the skills which are relevant across most areas of your life. The transferable skills which I gained can include people skills, communication skills, time-management, researching skills and computer skills. All of the skills that have been named above can be used within any industry that I enter after leaving university, whether it is down the pathway that my degree takes me or another profession. 
  2. Specialised skills
    These skills, which are very different to generic skills, are specialised towards the industry that I will be hopefully entering. These skills I have obtained from my time at Western Sydney University. The skills that I have obtained can include investigation skills through the subject of Evidence, Investigation and Police Intelligence. Problem-solving skills is another specialised skill that can be used within the policing industry: finding a solution that is utilitarian from the subject Ethics in the Social Sciences. Finally, understanding what certain groups encounter and creating solutions that can be used to help them. 
  3. Community Funding/Social Enterprise Application Development
    Skills that are necessary in conducting the community needs analysis are being able to understand the data, analysing the data, linking with stakeholders who play an important role and looking into similar programs, whilst identifying strengths & weaknesses and identifying the gaps evident.  In identifying the area of Bourke, New South Wales as a community which requires mentoring services targeting Indigenous Communities who have encountered Domestic Violence, to build on their future to moving forward, using research articles and statistical data to support the implementation of the program. The Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) was chosen to fund our initiative due to their goals that align within our project – prioritising the welfare and safety for the indigenous community to succeed. The program aims to provide mentoring support to indigenous women who have experienced domestic violence, to lower domestic violence rates through education, linking of important stakeholders and to rebuild their confidence to re-enter the world.
  4. Applied Debating Developing Position Paper
    An applied debate is a form of presenting that investigates an interest and is debated whilst using research-based evidence. Looking into the strengths and weaknesses of that topic of interest and is usually used to address areas that require proposals of change, removal or updating. In creating this position paper, I have developed a skill set that has taught me to address ideas which are questioned and are regularly updating or changing. By taking an objective approach with qualitative data (written responses) and quantitative data (statistics). Although, I did not provide a recommendation, they are needed to help push for a change.
