spectrums of the Law Enforcement realm. The foundation of what
the Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations curriculum is based on the
simple phrase “there is no magic!” Concepts, Tactics, Techniques,
and Principles will be broken down so the simplest level of
answering a call for service, then showing how, if foundations
are laid correctly, Officer’s will apply those same ideas to
major critical incidents they might be faced with.


The Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations 1 Course showcases
foundational thinking/habits/approaches to increase your
situational awareness while conducting daily tasks involving
vehicles. There will be multiple discussion points, critical
analysis of bodycam/dashcam footage, practical exercises/walk
throughs, and foundational teaching points you can take back to
your agency/squad/partners to apply in the real world. You’ll be
introduced to the concepts of Task Organization, and best

Whether one week out of the academy or getting ready for your
final day on-the-job, much of our time is spent in and around
vehicles. Whether responding to hot calls for service, proactive
patrol car stops, or complex-planned operations we have developed
habits that need to be addressed in how we view, plan, conduct,
and process critical incidents. It is inevitable that during the
course of your career you will have a critical incident in some
capacity involving a motor vehicle. Will you be prepared?
