Course Description: With rising insurance, repair, and medical costs, reducing or preventing law enforcement accidents is crucial for officer safety, and that of the public they protect. The professional instructors at Autobahn have developed an extensive one day driving program that covers skills training typically found in a multiple day program.
In the classroom, officers will learn the following concepts of driving safety:
- How cars react under emergency environments
- The basics of car control
- Common mistakes of other drivers on the road
- How to avoid accidents in the first place
- Controlling adrenaline
- Maintaining a high level of awareness
- Minimizing the effects of distractions
Throughout the rest of the day, officers will be placed in common emergency situations in a controlled, safe environment designed to replicate common emergency scenarios.
These drills will cover:
- Emergency lane change techniques
- Vehicle dynamics training
- Skid control recovery
Requirements:
At least one department squad car, SUV, or Pick-up truck is required for every two officers (from the same department) and will be used in the training.
- In order to maximize training, class size is limited to 12 officers.
- Officers are required to check-in at the front security/information gate house.
This training covers the following mandates:
- Civil Rights - 0.5 hours
- Constitutional / Proper Use of LE Authority - 0.5 hours
- Officer Safety Techniques - 2 hours (2 Hours Scenario-Based) hours
