Basic Motorcycle Training
June 6, 2022 @ 8:00 am - June 17, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
This is an 80-hour course, June 6 through June 17.
This course is designed on the Northwestern Model with the goal of providing police officers with the knowledge and skills necessary to properly operate a police motorcycle and enhance their personal safety. The motorcycle must be provided by the student’s agency and be in safe operating condition. Please be advised that some damage will likely occur to the motorcycle during training.
Students will focus on various practical exercises that stress low-speed maneuverability, curve negotiation, evasion techniques and high-speed braking skills. Students spend a large portion of the course in the saddle, practicing practical exercises and receive riding instruction supplemented with classroom instruction and demonstrations of tactical techniques.
Students are required to have a valid motorcycle endorsement prior to the start of class, successful completion of a Michigan endorsement course, or proof of pending motorcycle endorsement approval.
Students are tested on course exercises as well as in multiple choice written format. Students must successfully complete both testing processes to complete this course.
