Description : : |
Safety, job performance, and efficiency are at the root of this training
program. EMS personnel on bikes can frequently respond more quickly than
those in motor vehicles, especially in congested urban areas and in crowds.
They are also effective in search-and-rescue operations, such as those resulting
from natural disasters. Students learn basic and emergency bike-handling
skills, riding single and in pairs under various traffic conditions, ways
to effectively and safely pack equipment, techniques designed to safely handle
EMS scenes, and personal safety techniques. This course is a must for EMS
and SAR personnel seeking to develop and improve their riding skills and
their use of the bike on the job.
Prerequisites: Applicants must be EMS or SAR personnel currently assigned
to bike patrol, officers applying to become members of a bike unit, or members
of a department considering use of the bicycle.
