Developed in response to the need for training and materials related to emergency vehicle operations, this guide is designed to aid in the implementation of recruit, inservice, or specialized training for an emergency vehicle operator. Following the introduction, an overall discussion of material to be covered in the classroom is provided. After the classroom instruction section, the guide is divided into three sections on practical application--law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services--which present the different driving skills needed by the employees of these three agencies, due to the variations in vehicle characteristics and intended uses. Each of these three sections is self-contained, designed to be used in conjunction with the classroom instruction section. All three practical application chapters--law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services--include specific details regarding the actual maneuvers to be performed on the driving range, illustrations indicating the general physical layout of each exercise, guides for grading procedures, and common student problems of which the instructor should be aware. In the final chapter, procedures for physically setting up an emergency vehicle operation curriculum (EVOC) program are described. Also included are a glossary of important terms, and a bibliography of texts, pamphlets, films, and other references. Driver evaluation forms are provided in Appendix. (WL)
