Class Limit: 10

(THIS CLASS WILL BE HELD "RAIN OR SHINE")

Today's officers are driving in more highly congested areas, where they experience more challenges than ever before, thus increasing the likelihood of involvement in an on-duty crash. The Cumulative Skills Driving Course, a hybrid of the Police Training Commission's mandated recruit training, has been designed to provide both the veteran and new police officer with practical, behind-the-wheel driver training.

Officers who attend this training will:

• Learn, through practical driving exercises, some personal, physical, mental and vehicular limitations regarding the operation of fleet police vehicles. • Drive a cumulative skills course designed to gauge their understanding of the driving task. • Understand the operational aspects of occupational restraint systems and advanced braking systems. • Acquire new driving strategies which will help the officer survive an impending crash through conscious maneuvering of his or her vehicle.

This course is taught by a retired police officer, who is a certified Senior Vehicle Operations Instructor for the Police Training Commission, and is the lead instructor at this Academy.

 

ALL STUDENTS MUST BRING A DEPARTMENT POLICE VEHICLE AND NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS PER VEHICLE.

 

PROGRAM COST:     BERGEN COUNTY $0.00             OUT-OF-COUNTY $35.00
