- Training programs are regularly updated to fulfill the police force's requirements.
- Annual personal safety training is mandatory for all officers up to the rank of Inspector.
Use of Force
- Legal powers to use reasonable force are based on Common Law and specific Criminal Procedures.
- Officers are permitted to inflict violence only in self-defense or defense of others, ensuring force is reasonable.
- The Flinch response is a natural reaction to imminent danger, which can undermine learned self-defense techniques.
- SPEAR System training aims to modify this response and improve officers' effectiveness under stress.
Body Armour

- Officers receive training on the correct use, responsibilities, and maintenance of body armour.
- The SBA Police policy emphasizes maximizing safety through proper body armour usage and adherence to safety procedures.

- Officers are required to carry handcuffs while on duty, specifically the Quik-Kuff, TCH, HIATTS Rigid type, and flexi cuffs for large-scale arrests.
