Course Information

As law enforcement, public safety, and emergency response agencies retire their existing fleets and transition to newer vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, such as Collision Avoidance, Automatic Emergency Braking, and similar technology, it is imperative that Police Officers, Deputies, Agents, and other first responder personnel understand the limitations these systems may create when confronted by an immediate threat of violence.

With protests demanding a national reckoning on racial injustice continuing around the country, the number of incidents in which demonstrators aggressively target law enforcement and response personnel while they are in their vehicles is continuing to increase. While technology that is designed to reduce the safety risks that the average driver faces, it may actually lead to increased risks to professionals in law enforcement, fire response, emergency medical service, and other public safety roles.

This innovative, intensive, and interactive one (1) day, eight (8) hour course consists of a series of highly informative discussion blocks and hands-on practical exercises.
