providing solutions for First
Responders.
In recent years and in response to natural disasters, terrorism and other violent incidents, the term, “First Responder” has taken on a new and important meaning. Incidents requiring urgent and effective response from Fire/Rescue, EMS, law enforcement and even the military have sadly become commonplace. These are the brave men and women who form First Responders and Goverments have realized that they need more assets and training to deal with recent threats and this has become a priority for municipalities.
Likewise with the increase in outdoor activities that invite more of our citizens out to the rivers, lakes and seas; The First Responders, who would also include Lifeguards, Beach Safety Associations are being called on more and more to provide assistance on or near the water.
Zodiac has taken their international experience and technological innovation into focusing on how to help First Responders in their vital work. This results in innovative products, effective operational training and equipment maintenance.

So Zodiac has formed the Zodiac Maritime Academy to organize basic and advanced instruction to all types of government departments at the local and regional levels. Courses are varied to teach or refresh students in boat handling techniques for different situations in environments simulated as close as possible to your response area.
