Law Enforcement Driver Training Guide 2000 (760 pages)
The knowledge, skills, and attitudes that the average student brings to a basic recruit training academy are not sufficient for operating a law enforcement vehicle. The type of vehicle driven by civilians and law enforcement officers is similar, but the actual driving task is different. This becomes very obvious when comparing the collision rate for the general population with that of law enforcement officers, which is no less than twice as great.
The information in this Guide is presented in the form of concepts along with guidelines and suggestions for implementation. This information is intended to be a model for a driver training process, not a series of standards or mandates, but a guide. Individual agencies are responsible for reviewing their specific needs and evaluating their current driver training process in light of the information and guidelines offered in this task force report.
