Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy

Advanced Dynamic Vehicle Operations

6/11/2018
Each year driving accidents are among the leading causes of death for police officers killed in the line of duty. In addition, technology changes in police vehicles mean it is imperative that officers receive training to stay current. 

This four-day course, Advanced Dynamic Vehicle Operations, integrates classroom learning and hands-on driving exercises. Officers will become familiar with the dynamics of vehicles as they experience different driving scenarios. Instruction will focus on vehicle handling, distracted driving, skid control, reversing, collision avoidance, emergency response, and pursuit driving.

Students also will review legal issues about operating a police vehicle as well as officer safety tips and concerns. All students will drive Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) track vehicles and police SUVs during the hands-on training.
 
NOTE: This is not a beginner’s course. Students who attend should have attended an advanced driving course in the last three years.
