Prepared to teach. Supported to deliver.

The POST course prepares officers and deputies to teach the law, coach riding skills and evaluate competency. Graduates use the V2RT curriculum and Instructor App to deliver training in their communities.

POST is California’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. This instructor course is for law enforcement personnel.

Education with accountability.

V2RT can support education-based diversion when appropriate. Riders learn the law, demonstrate their skills and receive clear expectations.

The curriculum draws on law enforcement experience and input from prosecutors, injury-prevention specialists and pediatric trauma professionals. Participating agencies remain responsible for their own training operations.
