Speed management is a fundamental component of day-to-day police operations. Excessive vehicle speed not only reduces the ability of drivers to negotiate curves or maneuver around obstacles in the roadway, but also extends the distance necessary for a vehicle to stop and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard. On average, approximately 700 people are killed and more than 3,500 are seriously injured in speed-related crashes in Canada every year.
RADAR is an important tool in speed management. This course serves as a refresher for the experienced RADAR operator. Designed to complement other training, RADAR Refresher Training: Stationary reviews the principles of speed management, the theory and technology behind RADAR, and the information officers require to effectively prepare for Court.
