1205 PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLE EMERGENCY RESPONSE
This course provides information for emergency responders on how state laws affect the operation of their
personal vehicles (POV) in South Carolina. The emergency vehicle response course will help the responder
understand vehicle dynamics and the importance of operating under an official departmental “POV” emergency
response vehicle guideline plan. It is designed to promote awareness of the safe “POV” emergency response
with supporting national death and injury data. There is an end-of-course small group activity that will
reinforce the knowledge gained in the course.
