Chippewa County, Michigan. There are still openings for the upcoming free Teen Defensive
Driving School hosted by the Michigan State Police (MSP), but interested students must register
by 5:00 PM on Friday, September 5, 2025.
Held at the Continental Brimley Development Center, the course offers four hours of hands-on,
behind-the-wheel instruction using MSP patrol vehicles. The program is designed for teens who
hold a Level 1 Graduated Driver License (GDL).
Led by MSP Troopers, the course helps young drivers sharpen their skills and build confidence
through real-world driving scenarios and one-on-one coaching. Teens will learn important
driving skills including defensive driving, serpentine maneuvering, controlled braking, and
evasive maneuvers. A mock traffic stop will also help them understand how to respond
appropriately if pulled over. Students will be able to positively interact with MSP troopers and
also learn about MSP career opportunities.
