A Training Course for Inline Skating Police
by Agent Juan Matos of Puerto Rico
|
This training was developed for the
Puerto Rico Police Inline Skating Unit by a team of four instructors, including myself.
It is currently being offered to city police
departments, (we are state police) by the
Puerto Rico Inline Skating Association, in which all four
instructors are active members.
The course is being published so that all other
"roller-cops" can give us
their input on other techniques that should
be added, and what things
could be changed, or any other experience in
the field that might help us
develop a standarized format of teaching for
all "roller-cops" everywhere.
Eventually, the course will belong to all of us !!!
All ICP Instructors and Examiners are
encouraged to lend a hand in developing this course.
