Every agency has its own policies and procedures specific to their delivery of service initiatives. In addition to cost savings, having one’s own qualified in-house bicycle instructor makes perfect sense. Each segment of instruction has adaptability which can meet the needs of each facet of public safety including; basic and advanced technical riding skill development, EMS equipment issues and solutions, realistic scenario development, firearms and tactics for police and armed security, annual refresher training, to name a few.

In this comprehensive instructor level class, participants will learn how to apply the fundamentals of riding for the purpose of training and educating members of their organizations. They will learn strategies of improving community relations through safety programming and share the rewarding experience and versatility of performing job tasks via the public safety bicycle.

• Conduct safe and credible in-service basic and refresher bike training to include specific patrol and response duties
