National Police Training
Australian Law Enforcement Training

Strategic Operations International delivers specialised training focused on the lawful application of physical response options for managing aggressive and violent confrontations within Australian operational environments.
Training addresses interactions with both compliant and non-compliant individuals, with all techniques delivered in accordance with Australian Use of Force principles, relevant legislation, and the policies of the respective law enforcement agency.
SOI training is designed to integrate with existing Australian law enforcement training systems. It does not replace approved techniques or nationally endorsed training frameworks, but instead enhances officer capability, decision-making, and confidence under pressure.
Where agencies are reviewing policy, developing new training frameworks, or establishing specialised units or special operations groups, SOI can design and implement bespoke training programs aligned with evolving operational requirements and governance standards.
This training is for:
