What skills will recruits progress to after completing the Red Phase?

After completing the Red Phase, recruits progress to the Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) and Firearms Training. This phase in police academy training focuses on practical applications that are crucial for law enforcement.

The EVOC is essential for teaching recruits how to operate a police vehicle under various conditions, such as high-speed pursuits or emergency responses. This training enhances their ability to maintain control of the vehicle while ensuring public safety. Firearms Training is equally important as it equips recruits with the necessary skills for safely handling, firing, and maintaining their service weapons. Both aspects are foundational to a police officer’s ability to perform their duties effectively and respond to incidents where these skills are critical.

The other options pertain to specialized skills that are typically emphasized later in the training or are part of ongoing professional development, but they do not represent the immediate progression after the Red Phase. As such, focusing on EVOC and firearms training provides recruits with the essential competencies they need before moving on to more advanced or specialized skills.
