Law enforcement driving related accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries to police officers.

As part of North Carolina Leagues, Property and Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance Pools, your department is invited to send an officer to the Advanced Defensive Driver Training class for law enforcement provided by the North Carolina League of Municipalities.
