This course will provide you with advanced techniques to improve your riding skills during various law enforcement functions. We will begin by conducting refresher exercises and self-assessments to demonstrate the importance of ongoing crash avoidance. You will improve your riding proficiency through a series of progressively complex exercises where unique training aids and surface conditions will be introduced. We will also examine the major safety issues and hidden dangers of operating escorts and the process of special event planning and debriefings.
