BICP PATROL CYCLIST CERTIFICATION

The Bike Instructor Certification Program (BICP) offers professional training and certification for Police Officers who patrol on bikes by providing standardized bike skills training. The BICP training is built on proven, successful methods developed over two decades and aims to establish the bike skills instructor training standard. The BICP is the sole source provider for this training, which is the foundation for training many bike patrol departments.

The BICP provides the tools necessary to teach bike skills to bike patrol officers. The BICP Patrol Cyclist Instructor Trainer course was developed for Police departments with bike patrol divisions to train and develop key individuals to become skills trainers.

The Patrol Cyclist Instructor Trainer course will provide direction and build your confidence in training and testing bike skills. The Patrol Cyclist Instructor Trainer will be able to teach and correct basic bike skills through intermediate bike skills training, which is complex and demanding.

Although some departments/agencies will provide some form of job-specific training for bike patrol officers, they are generally unable to provide the comprehensive training required to perform your job safely and competently. There are many aspects to teaching: planning and preparation, risk management, proper interaction with students, managing a group, and being fully confident in your understanding and demonstration of the fundamental elements. As a well-equipped, knowledgeable instructor, we will provide a strong foundation for moving forward. This course will make you think about situations you don’t want to consider yet need to be ready for.
