			Training Class Overview As part of your entry fee, you're eligable to attend two training classes that will be offered. The classes will be on Wednesday, 9 to 11:30 (Escorts) - 1:00 to 4:30 (Survival) and then on Thursday, 9:00 to 12:00 (Survival) - 1:00 to 3:30 (Escorts). Class and day will be selected based on the day the application is submitted. We've gotten confirmation from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) that the two classes can be used for continuing education credit. Below are links to pdf files you will need to "apply" for credit. Officer Bios and Course Outlines Instructions for TCLEOSE Credit Class Roster (Other states may have similar credit requirements. If you find you can submit this information for your state, please let me know so I can post it for others.) Class Overview Motor Officers Survival (3 hours) By Sergeant Rob Grimsley and Deputy Mike Burrell This course is designed for the Motorcycle Officer to understand and visualize the potential threats while operating a motorcycle as an enforcement vehicle. In addition this course will cover police motorcycle training concepts and concerns. Topics that will be discussed: safe traffic stops How to use the motorcycle for cover and concealment Survival mind set Importance of training Rob Grimsley is an 18-year veteran of law enforcement and currently a Sergeant with the Charleston County Sheriff's Office in Charleston, South Carolina. Sergeant Grimsley is assigned to the Traffic Division. He is also an adjunct instructor for The University of North Florida (IPTM). Deputy Mike Burrell has been in law enforcement for 18 years. Dep. Burrell started his career in New York as a patrol officer. Deputy Burrell has been with the Charleston County Sheriff's Office since 1997. Dep. Burrell has been a Motorcycle Officer for seven years. Dep. Burrell attended Police Motorcycle Instructor School in 2003 at the Maryland State Police motorcycle Instructor course. Escort Procedures (2.5 hours) By Sergeant Rob Grimsley The police motorcycle is without a doubt the most maneuverable police vehicle in your fleet. This is one of the biggest reasons why escorts are a huge part of our daily duties. We can get out in front and move heavy traffic to clear the way for the escort that will be coming (you can never leave too early to get out and secure a traffic control point). Unlike an officer in a car, when traffic is grid locked, cars don't have any place to go. We can split traffic and solve that problem. Topics that I will cover for the Escort class are as follows: History of police escorts Why this is a needed service Pros and cons of escorts How to implement escort training into your monthly motor training The importance of communications in a escort Dealing with other jurisdictions (OJ) motors and how to make it work in a safe environment Discuss the three main types of escorts and their pros and cons How to select the right type of escort procedure Position of the motors in an intersection or traffic control point How to work together with the Secret Service on a VIP escort
