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.
Course Length: minimum 32
hours
