CPPSS00059 – Batons and Handcuffs

On completion of this skill set, participants will be able to:

  • Apply lawful, justified, and proportionate use of force
  • Assess threats and manage dynamic security incidents
  • Use batons and handcuffs safely, effectively, and in accordance with industry standards
  • Apply de-escalation and communication strategies to reduce risk
  • Conduct post-incident reporting and adhere to WHS and legal obligations
    This training ensures officers are operationally competent, confident, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Participants must:

  • Hold a current Queensland Security Licence (Unarmed or Crowd Controller) or equivalent
  • Provide valid photo identification
  • Have basic English language proficiency to complete training and assessment
    This course is for licensed officers only and does not grant a security licence on its own.

This skill set includes the following nationally recognised units:

  • CPPSEC3110 – Control persons using batons
  • CPPSEC3111 – Restrain persons using handcuffs

These units meet the industry standard for security officers authorised to carry and use defensive equipment.

      • Duration: 1–2 days
      • Format: Face-to-face practical training supported by theory components
      • Location: Delivered across Queensland by qualified tactical security trainers

      Training incorporates realistic scenarios that reflect modern operational environments.

Participants may continue their professional development into:

  • CPP31318 – Certificate III in Security Operations
  • CPP31418 – Certificate III in Close Protection Operations
    This skill set forms a strong foundation for advanced security, close protection, and tactical roles.

      • Fee for Service: $300
        Includes practical training, assessment, and certification.

Completion of this skill set does not itself license a participant to carry batons or handcuffs.
However, these units satisfy the training requirement for security employers and licensing authorities that authorise the use of defensive equipment.
Participants must still hold a valid Queensland Security Licence with the appropriate functions to use this equipment legally.

Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate for the units:

  • CPPSEC3110 – Control persons using batons
  • CPPSEC3111 – Restrain persons using handcuffs

These competencies meet industry and regulatory requirements for licensed security officers carrying batons and handcuffs for operational duties.
