Distracted Driving for Law Enforcement

This 4-hour TCOLE approved course is offered free of charge to all agencies/peace officers in Texas. Law Enforcement has certain distractions that are specific to the profession that others do not have. This class will not only cover how to minimize the number of on-duty crashes each year (and the liability associated with them) but will also include tactics and techniques for recognizing and enforcing distracted driving violations in the public.

This course covers the most common causes behind LE crashes and how to prevent them. Using real LE dashboard and bodycam videos we will break down and diagnose ways to minimize danger to officers and agencies, while increasing the odds of officer survival on our roadways.

Instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate about car seat safety. Awesome class!”

Trainings like these remind us all of how distracted one can get behind the wheel. Thanks for doing what you do. Stay safe!”



Definitely opened my eyes to looking beyond being a “traffic unit” I appreciate the drive into the philosophy and bigger picture. Great presentation.”


More of this training would be beneficial to daily patrol duties. Driving is one of the most dangerous parts of police work and there is not enough training on it.”
