Upcoming Events - Fire-Rescue Med

Fire-Rescue Med: May 9-13, Las Vegas
We will be presenting a demonstration of our SKIDCAR SYSTEM Mobile Driver Training Program in the parking lot of The Orleans Hotel which is the host property.

The MDTP is a practical solution to small, rural, or any department which lacks the budget or space to sustain a full-time driver training program. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to introduce your drivers to Electronic Stability Control systems, how they work, and how best to drive with instead of against them. SKIDCAR System, Inc. provides all equipment and materials necessary including use of a Type A SKIDCAR SYSTEM, vehicle, and curriculum taught by a Certified Instructor. If there is an existing driver training program in place, we are able to work with your current instructors to incorporate the SKIDCAR into your approved curriculum, or a custom program can be designed to meet your needs.

Please let us know if you will be attending FRM and would like the opportunity to experience the SKIDCAR for yourself by contacting us at info@skidcar.com.

Upcoming Events - ILEETA

ILEETA: April 11-16, Chicago
Dane Pitarresi, President of SKIDCAR SYSTEM, Inc., will be participating in a round table discussion chaired by Travis Yates during the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association Conference in Chicago, IL.

Captain Travis Yates is a Team Leader with the Tulsa Police Precision Driver Training Unit and is a nationally recognized driving instructor. He also moderates www.policedriving.com, a website dedicated to law enforcement driving issues.

Our presence as a representative of a component of future driver training curriculum adds importance to the need for innovative thinking regarding training in a modern EVOC environment. New technologies, new training philosophies, and new curriculum strategies will be discussed. We are proud to be working together with Captain Yates to bring attention to this critical topic.
