DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to evaluate and prepare the entry motorcycle officer prior to basic motor school. The purpose of the course is to ground students with motorcycle fundamentals using a one on one student to instructor ratio. Most problems that could cause a student to fail can be addressed and patched during this time. We have found that most students who have attended this course excel in the basic motor program and outdistance their peers.

INSTRUCTORS: All instructors are POST certified veteran motor officers.

PREREQUISITE: Must be in good physical condition and free from prior injuries that may be aggravated by physical activity. Students should have basic civilian motorcycle skills. All students must also sign a liability waiver (waiver formed attached).

PRESENTATION DATES & HOURS: This is an 8-hour course that will be presented on request from you or your agency. 

CERTIFICATION: This is not a POST or STC certified course.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: Students are required to have 1) a certified D.O.T. motorcycle helmet and eyeglasses and 2) coverall-type clothing, boots that come over the ankle and leather gloves. Students are encouraged to wear bullet resistant vests, shin/knee and elbow guards. We provide motorcycles.
