(a – f) Audit of training within the Police Service is an ongoing process that is maintained by continuing internal review and external validation by the Training Accreditation Council. The Council is responsible for ensuring that registered training organisations comply with Australian Quality Training Framework Standards. The Western Australia Police Service’s obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Laws are carefully considered as part of the ongoing review of training and appropriate remedial strategies are developed and implemented as and when necessary.
