A tragic case. There are very very few officers with a complete and comprehensive knowledge of NICHE. In my force basic training was given then its introduction was delayed by over six months by which time everyone had forgotten the training. It has been learning on the job and trial & error ever since. I am just surprised that more cases are not been flagged where an untrained officers lack of knowledge and experience has ended in tragedy. I think NPCC just live in hope that it doesn't happen. Any professional examination of the "Chalk & Talk" training inputs provided would reveal how inadequate it was and how many are still struggling with NICHE over 3 years since its implementation.
