This class and driving course will help to show you what’s involved while responding with lights and sirens. It may also help if the tragic happens and your driving record is called into question. Completing a recognized EVOC class will give you some information on “where to start” with driving first response vehicles. Be prepared to drive the course. HIPPA is also offered as a part of this course, as patient privacy is a big part of our first responder world.
