Description:

(48 Contact Hours) This course is intended to develop the proactive skills and principles of driving needed to operate a law enforcement vehicle safely during the day or at night. Further, student learning will focus on the ability to drive in an emergency mode, communicate with dispatch, and remain aware of the actions of other drivers, all of which present complexities not experienced in normal driving. Instruction will also center on the officer's awareness of the effects of physiological and psychological stressors on his or her driving, how the public views law enforcement drivers, and how to recognize and understand both the vehicle's and officer's limits. Moreover, students will be provided instruction on the basics of interior and exterior law enforcement vehicle inspection on the officer's assigned vehicle. Students will be required to pass a vehicle operations proficiency practicum.
