REC292-2352 | 16 - Training and behaviour | The New South Wales Police Force should consider drawing on international experience when reviewing its negotiator training |
REC292-2351 | 16 - Training and behaviour | The sections above dealing with negotiators’ attempts to engage with Monis, their responses to his demands, and their assessment of progress demonstrate deficiencies in current practice. To respond to those deficiencies, I recommend that the New South Wales Police Force conduct a general review of the training afforded to negotiators and the means by which they are assessed and accredited. Specifically, the review should consider the training provided regarding: measuring progress in negotiations; recording of information, including the systems by which that occurs; the use of third-party intermediaries; additional approaches to securing direct contact with a person of interest; and handovers. |
REC292-2337 | 16 - Training and behaviour | I recommend that the Director of Public Prosecutions initiate reviews of the training in file management given to lawyers employed by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to ensure important original documents are not discarded and that the files accurately reflect relevant events. |
REC292-2366 | 16 - Training and behaviour | I recommend that the New South Wales Police Force review the training provided to officers in relation to DA planning and approval. |
REC292-2358 | 16 - Training and behaviour | I recommend that the New South Wales Police Force develop a cadre of counterterrorist negotiators and provide them with appropriate training to equip them to respond to a terrorist siege. |

REC260-1057 | 16 - Training and behaviour | That the Rural Fire Service and National Parks and Wildlife Service introduce training, exercises or information packages, or other suitable forms of professional development, for operational fire fighters and analysts concerning the potential effects of atmospheric instability and vorticity-driven lateral spread on fire behaviours in severe-catastrophic fire danger conditions. |
REC260-1051 | 8 - Communications and warnings | That the Rural Fire Service consider redrafting the disclaimer in its fire predictions to make abundantly clear where the potential errors or omissions may affect the prediction and how to detect them if they are there (for example, by comparing them with linescans) and what other factors (such as VLS) may affect the predictions and in what way. |
REC260-1068 | 16 - Training and behaviour | That the National Park and Wildlife Service review its fire weather training regime and consider adopting or adapting the fire weather training courses introduced in Victoria following the 2009 bushfire disaster. |

REC260-1062 | 16 - Training and behaviour | That the National Parks and Wildlife Service consider incorporating “worst-case scenario” training, as proposed in Mr Conway’s report, in its suite of fire-fighting protocols, exercises and training packages for senior incident controllers and other senior managers. |
