Roadway Threats Modules
Module 7.1
Buckle Up
During Patrol operations, our attention is drawn to many different activities and objects. Seatbelts are our first line of defense!
Module 7.2
Distracted Driving
While on patrol, always be aware of your surroundings and location.
Module 7.3
Way Too Fast
How often are we discussing need versus risk? How often does our department train on emergency driving? Does your department have a definition of “way too fast”?
Module 7.4
Fighting From the Vehicle
Recognizing a deliberate deadly force attack is occurring is critical. A vehicle being used as a weapon can be just as deadly as a firearm or knife.
