Collision Avoidance Training (C.A.T.) is a defensive driving and vehicle control program for young drivers developed by the National Traffic Safety Academy. During the one-day course adapted from law enforcement training, young drivers learn how to handle their vehicles in any situation. Designed especially for new drivers who want more specialized experience on the road, C.A.T. teaches hands-on techniques for evasive maneuvers, emergency braking, cornering, backing, skid recovery, steering, acceleration and more.
Please join us at an exciting upcoming event, hosted by the Howard County Police Department, Police Foundation, and Citizens Advisory Council. This event will focus on sharing information about how your police department operates, within the community and behind the scenes, while making sure to afford an opportunity for interactive police-community conversation. It will also allow you the opportunity to put yourself in mock police scenarios in our VirTra police training simulator!
