Entertaining video of the serious subject of making public safety drivers better and deliver safer at their jobs. I taught this very class for many years to firefighters and other public employees for many years (same class with a different name). We were given our training by GM proving ground instructors.

I was fortunate enough to attend 3 different defensive/pursuit driving classes through my career. It was one of the most beneficial classes I took. And the lessons learned teach some techniques that can be used in day to day driving even when not on the job. I still use many of these techniques today decades later. Considering the fact that an officer will spend almost 8-10 hours a day behind the wheel, learning these techniques is probably the best training they can take in their career.

Over here in the UK, generally only Roads Policing and Armed Response get to drive the nicer, more powerful cars, and then only after Advanced training. To put this into perspective, we now have to do a 1 week Basic Driving course, then we can drive without blues & twos. Then there is a Standard Driving Course, usually of 3 or 4 weeks, allowing Blues and Twos. Then there is a break to gain experience. Then an initial pursuit course, of about a week. Then experience. If you then get to go to one of the RP or ARV departments, we must pass an additional 4 week Advanced Driving Course where we travel at maxium speed, in complete safety, all on the roads. Then, after more experience, a 1 week Tactical Pursuit and Containment course. None of this on the track, except for about a day on each course manoeuvring. All on the road. We then have refreshers of about a week, every three years. More specialist training, VIP Escort/Anti-Hijack, Escort Skills, Off-Road, Surveillance etc are all in addition to this. The VIP course, for example is another 3 weeks. If you're good enough to become an instructor, thats another 6 weeks! I'm proud to have spent 30 years as a specialist police driver!

It was cool to see how your skills progress through the training. Hopefully this will be a skill you'll rarely have to use.

Fix your uniform officer, looks real professional. I'm surprised being surrounded by that many cops and a camera yet nobody noticed. Hate to see what they're case success ratio is.

Is that class available to civilians???

Maybe as a grassroots motorsport kind of thing but unfortunately we do not offer the course to civilians

Out of curiosity would you allow a civilian to observe this course? Albeit from a safe distance? Also you guys had me laughing for the first few minutes.

Call the PD and ask for Sgt Richards. He could answer your question better

What is an EVOC. Is it an online class or an offline class? How long is EVOC training? Do I need a driving license to learn this course? Will we have to drive a vehicle in this course?
