16. Skills and Qualities in the UPS
There is a difference between skills and qualities. Skills are things that a person is taught and they allow them to carry out a job.
Qualities are the requirements of the individual people who work in the Uniformed Public Services in order to deal effectively with the situations. Having Good Time management would mean that people would be at work on time and be prepared for any issues that arise.
Police Officer: How to search someone.
SKILLS
Command and control relies on its staff to have skills in order to carry out their roles effectively. It relies on good training and leadership to ensure that everyone learns the skills. It also reduces time wastage because in high pressured situations you need to staff to react quickly to events.

If a Captain gives the order for his Company to attack an area, he must be confident that his men understand the skills asked of them. Skills safeguard personnel because if a soldier could not shoot well then he may put the lives of his colleagues at risk in a battle.
