Suggestion Declined MET - ERT: PLT For ERT

[(RS6) JakeH]

Suggestion Title: PLT For ERT

Division: MET - ERT

https://forum.policemp.com/index.php?threads/met-ert-plt-for-tsg.5620/

Regarding the thread above instead of making PLT a thing exclusive for TSG officers could it or something similar possibly be implemented as an ERT Training package that regular ERT Officers can undergo. This would be beneficial as it gives them an understanding of what TSG is and how we operate. This would be a massive help as TSG can have a closer working relationship with ERT officers

Hi Jake,

Thank you for your suggestion. PLT sounds a lot like our current FIT training package whereby TSG are utilised to go ahead and gather intelligence from crowds in a peaceful and non-aggressive way. I struggle to see where the difference between PLT and FIT lies. Ideally, I would like to utilise FIT more on TSG deployments and I think it would give us the same, if not better, results than PLT.

For the reason above I will move this suggestion to declined. However, we can have a review of the current use of FIT and look to implement this more into TSG deployments.

Thank you,
