Drive With Cops 2900 Justin Drive, Urbandale, IA 50322

"We could not be more pleased with the experience our child had at Drive with Cops! Our child has some emotional and learning challenges and did struggle a couple times during class, but they worked with him, did not make him feel bad or less than, and ultimately helped him to be successful in the class. Communication is outstanding. Terry is so kind, helpful, and very patient with parents who are not from Iowa and do not understand the weird rules for getting your license here. :) You do have to book the class early because they fill up FAST (for good reason). We booked almost a year in advance, and it was worth every penny!!"

"Overall was a pretty good class for my son. They did provide a good base to start from which is what I wanted for him so I could build from there. Do wish they would have been more challenged in driving situations and did seem to play it safe in everything, including the final exam as I was told by him that it was just a drive around the block more less. But maybe each instructor does it different. Also no simulators were used as I read that they would be. Just classroom and driving. But like I said I was happy he got a good foundation for me to build on for him."

"This was an excellent program! The instructors/officers were kind and helped my teens feel safe as they learned the ins and outs of driving, and they felt like they received a fantastic driver's education in the classroom and on the road. Highly recommend!"

"Love, love, LOVE Drive with Cops!! We live in Ankeny and the program was well worth the drive to Urbandale. My daughter is very high functioning autistic...they were phenomenal with her-so patient and thorough. I saw her confidence build right away. I also really liked how specific Ms. Terry was at the front office with the instructions on how to get the next step permit/license (eg-school permit). They cover all of that with the parents at the last day of class, but having the emails handy was great! Can't recommend enough!!!"

"My daughter graduated from both Drive With Cops and then later Street Smarts (Roosevelt HS location in Des Moines). She definitely preferred Street Smarts! Both schools had nice, patient instructors but the biggest difference between the two was the drive time experience. Drive with Cops never challenged her on the drives. They didn’t take her on the interstate or downtown (she was more than ready for it, mature & confident). For some reason the instructor played it safe and most the drives were basic roads and parking lots! When I emailed Drive with Cops at the halfway point to express my concern about the lack of different driving situations for her drive time, they said they don't go downtown and as far as interstate driving that it's up to each officers discretion. So needless to say, after she graduated there, I just felt more comfortable if she also did another school. Street Smarts was very, very thorough. You really felt like you got your moneys worth and that your kid got the most experience possible. They had a lot of checkboxes to mark off and my daughter was downtown and on the interstate for most of her drives. I really felt like as a parent, Street Smarts prepared my daughter better and gave her way more experiences.."
