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.
