Description: This a patrol-based class that focuses on the importance of the student's driving abilities and their responsibility to safely respond to incidents & react on arrival.While the classroom portion of this training delves into the case law which guides our policies as they relate to both emergency and pursuit driving, a significant portion of the classroom will focus on handling incidents that will require good communication skills, officer safety & quick scenario- based decision making.

Both section of this class will be incorporated in the scenarios.This is a vehicle-based course with considerable driving coupled with emergency scenarios.
