To maintain this exemption, Sheriff officers must complete relevant Officer Safety Training (OST) as required by the Sheriff or the Sheriff's delegate.  This training is currently provided in two formats - Pre Service training and annual OST refresher.

As well as training on the use of weapons, OST also covers open hand defensive tactics and advanced de-escalation techniques.

SOV is required under section 21(2)(e) of the Occupational Health & Safety Act 2004 to “provide such information, instruction, training or supervision to employees as is necessary to enable those persons to perform their work in a way that is safe and without risks to health”

A full and open tender process provides SOV the opportunity to source a new supplier whilst also taking advantage of any new methodology and/or delivery approach in the design and delivery of Officer Safety Training to its officers
