This allows me to continually adapt to challenges and bolster my already high level of organisational skill, interpersonal relations, and people management. My job also calls on me to oversee and mentor individuals in terms of basic safety, they're duties, mental health especially when in the field, whilst motivating my team to achieve they're potential and hit targets.Other taught techniques include the education and consequential understanding of military law, enabling me to fulfil my primary policing duty which is to uphold service law under 'The Armed Forces Act 2006', a law that also shadows the civilian counterpart 'The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984'. Furthermore, my skill set also includes a high level of expertise in self-defence learned through the Personal Safety Training course, firearms, fitness and also basic first aid. Show less
