Chief Taser Instructor - North West Armed Policing Collaboration

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably qualified police staff member to join the North West Armed Policing Collaboration based at our Runcorn office as the Chief Taser Instructor (CTI).

STO Taser training is a high risk and high volume area of business. Under the College of Policing STO Taser license process, the role of the CTI is a mandated function and is critical to the delivery of STO Taser training, so the individual holding the post must be competent in their role.

The role of the CTI is to be responsible for all STO Taser training matters for all forces within the North West Armed Policing Collaboration (NWAPC) to ensure consistency and compliance to the license requirements for the safe delivery of firearms training, incorporating the overarching principles of :

  • Safe People
  • Safe Practices
  • Safe Places
  • Safe Equipment

This is a really interesting time to be involved in this area of business and you will be able to help shape the policies, processes and format of Taser training for STO’s across the North West region.

The applicant will be required to work in partnership with all of the collaborating forces to support the delivery of STO Taser training to help these forces effectively equip their officers to protect themselves and the public.

The applicant will predominantly work a Monday to Friday daytime pattern and will be expected to be visible across all the training delivery centres across the North West. There is always a degree of flexibility in working arrangements and agile working dependent on organisational needs.

Where the role requires a specific qualification you will also be required to bring the original certificate as proof of your achievement and a photocopy to interview.

Should you require a reasonable adjustment to our recruitment process please contact HR on 01606 366900 at the earliest opportunity to ensure that measures can be put in place to enable your application for this post.

Interviews will take place as advised following the closure of applications.

Any further information should be sought in the first instance from Superintendent Simon Newell – North West Armed Policing Collaboration manager -  Simon.Newell@cheshire.police.uk
