OUR INSTRUCTORS

Our instructors are all volunteers drawn from a variety of Teams and backgrounds. We develop training and assessment skills through training courses for instructors and a Trainer Quality Monitoring system of observed sessions and feedback. UKLSI actively develops its instructors and where possible trainers are assisted to attend external courses to develop skills. Networking with the wider search community is encouraged.

All courses are led by experienced Search Controllers, ensuring a depth of understanding and underpinning knowledge is engendered.

We acknowledge Lowland Vulnerable Missing Person Search is a new discipline. There are no experts, but there is often a consensus of opinion between those who are occupationally competent. We seek to deliver this through our courses.

Where required, external Trainers are utilised to provide expertise that does not exist within the team. An example of this is our Tracking Course, details of which can be found on this site.

Our aim on every course is to utilise instructors from as many different teams as possible. Course participants are invited to return to assist with future courses, allowing us to achieve a balanced input and acknowledging the range of working practices between Teams and Police Forces.
