The TRAined Driving System

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional injury and death across the nation and in Oregon. Motor vehicle crashes have far-reaching effects on victims and their families and cost Oregon employers millions of dollars annually. Developing an effective motor vehicle safety program is one of the best ways for employers to protect their employees and control costs.

The TRAined Driving System works!

The Tactical Response Academy offers a variety of driver training services that are custom designed for the most basic or advanced drivers.

We also provide Vehicle Usage Policies, Driver Safety Manuals, and a Driver Safety Checklist. These manuals can be downloaded for a nominal fee in a generic pdf file format or they can be downloaded in MS Word which allows for customization. The Driver Safety Checklist is a free download (pdf).

We provide winter-driving skills training to new drivers, intermediate and advanced level training to corporate professionals, and advanced supplemental training for emergency responders. Training includes, but is not limited to, classroom courses, a state-of-the-art driving simulator, closed course training, vehicle usage and driver safety policies and checklists.

We currently offer two, 4-hour classroom presentations. One is designed primarily for emergency responders, while the second is for most other disciplines. Our instructors are some of the best in their fields in emergency vehicle operations, crash reconstruction, and/or professional based driving.

Additionally, we use a state-of-the-art driving simulator to reinforce concepts taught in the portion of the training or as a stand alone training tool. While the simulator will never replace the “rubber on the road feeling”, it provides an added dimension to driver training and allows for handling and corrective issues in emergency situations and countless other scenarios. Closed-course training provides an opportunity to teach evasive maneuvers and evaluate perception and reaction times, as well as braking responses for drivers.
