How to Write a Training Center Mission Statement
              
For over twenty years, IBG has championed a 7 Step Process that leads to effective and meaningful Strategic Business Plans for Public Safety Training Centers. In addition to this process, I believe another key element for success is the Training Center Mission Statement.

More Than  Mere Words

Why is a mission statement for your training center so important? Well, think of it this way. While the 7-Step Business Planning process provides a detailed step-by-step road map that is essential to the development, operation, and maintenance of your police or firefighter training facility, the mission statement offers a concise description of the fundamental purpose of the training center. It helps answer two critical questions:

Skidcar System

 

The SKIDCAR SYSTEM� is an advanced driver training solution that teaches drivers to anticipate car control problems before they occur. With SKIDCAR™, drivers experience exactly how a vehicle will behave in situations that can cause traction loss, including adverse weather, excessive speed, rapid braking or steering errors. But unlike other programs that simply teach reactionary motor skills, SKIDCAR trains drivers to think, maintain control, and avoid trouble ahead of time.
