Walters State Community College is recognized as the leader in driver training throughout East Tennessee. Each year, our driver training facility is utilized to train approximately 1,000 civilian and government drivers in the safe operation of motorcycles, police cars, school busses and fire rescue vehicles.
The driver training facility is located at the Public Safety Center less than one mile from WSCC's main campus in Morristown, TN.
Our driver improvement programs are approved by the Tennessee POST Commission and recommended by the State's leading government insurance provider, the Tennessee Municipal League. Our instructors are certified by the National Safety Council, the American Automobile Association, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and other accredited driving programs.
This course is presented as an entry-level class in the Regional Law Enforcement Academy and as a re-certification or refresher class in the Specialized Law Enforcement Training Program.
This course prepares current full-time officers to instruct at the basic academy or specialized training level.
This course expands beyond the basic Defensive and Tactical Driving class to include pursuit intervention strategies such as the Precision Immobilization Technique and Box-In Maneuver as well as the use of spike strips, aviation support and other resources.
If you have a classroom and a suitable area for practical driving exercises (large parking lot, air strip or similar paved surface of at least 2-3 acres), we can bring a Defensive and Tactical Driving course to your site.
Many agencies take advantage of this option which reduces overall training expense in terms of man-hours lost, as well as travel and lodging.
