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

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.

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.
