NAPD TACTICAL POLICE DRIVING COURSE
The NAPD Tactical Police Driving Course is a 24hr program designed to advance the driving skills and knowledge of police officers. One third of the course is classroom (spread over three days) with two thirds devoted to hands-on driving. It is not a racing program, nor is it abusive to vehicles. Speeds rarely exceed 45mph and average approximately 30mph. However, the training is intensive. It is a pass/fail course requiring students to meet qualification standards on five separate driving exercises and pass a written test to gain certification.
STUDENT RECERTIFICATION
The 24hr Tactical Police Driving Course certificate is valid for three years. If those three years elapse without refresher training, the individual must attend the 24hr course again in order to be recertified. However, the certification can be maintained by passing an NAPD 8hr refresher course within those three years, and within a three-year basis thereafter.
Although three years are allowed between recertification, it is advisable to schedule half of the personnel for refresher training every year. This method keeps your NAPD instructors active every year while helping to regulate class size.
