Las Vegas police motorcycle officers go through 160 hours of training before they can ride

[@WabbitWay]

Maybe they need to ditch the bike

[@expatbiker6598]

Those training helmets are a major risk. We're not in the 60's. Motorcycle helmet safety has moved on

[@TheBenghaziRabbit]

tell that to all the departments who still use it for patrol

[@lswhooo8345]

Well most departments only use motorcycle cops for escorts and minor things

[@MySpitts]

@@lswhooo8345 Not Metro. They are used for enforcement. The only thing they don’t do are calls for service.

[@paulspomer16]

@@lswhooo8345Idk what country you’re in but it’s not that way in the USA. Motorcycle units are regular patrol units in USA

[@Woyt_Pirat]

@@TheBenghaziRabbitwhat’s the producer and model of their helmets? They are great. I look for to buy one but no chance to find on eBay… such model.

Their protective gear is abysmal.

It's incredible isnt it

[@michaelf8500]

Motorcycle units are expensive, dangerous, unnecessary, and archaic.

So the convoy of motorcycle cops i saw in the morning of april 28 2021 down by Tropicana Avenue to Sam boyd stadium is a motorcycle school?

[@kman-mi7su]

I'm not LVMPD , I am motor trained for another large city dept on the east coast. Yes, they may be a class going out on a "city ride" where they take them on difficult roads to test what they've learned.

"its all about saving their lives" is totally the same idea as our motorcycle cops in my country. they talked the same in tv documentary.

Good skills!

[@philh1826]

Can civilians take this course alongside the police? Not the cop stuff but the skills course. What model motorcycle are they using?

[@vietle1479]

you can learn all this stuff on youtube and find a place to practice, invest a guard frame for your bike too. It's not that hard as it look. few days practice will be fine.

[@SchenkerScorpions]

As a Harley ridder from Europe I do not understand why police in the US ar still riding Harley. The bikes are amazing, but there are far more efficiënt bikes for police officers.

[@kwt2000trucker]

Some police departments use BMWs. One of the reasons why most police departments use Harleys is, to support American brands, just like the patrol cars, Ford, Chevrolet, I have never seen Honda, Mercedes Benz or other foreign brands in police patrol cars

[@MrTommyboy68]

@@kwt2000trucker Uhhhhhh. Didn't Harley MOVE OVERSEAS thanks to our twice impeached former guy???????? Yes, and in Europe they use BMW's, Mercedes, Volvo's cars that are way to expensive for US departments to buy even though MOST SUV's start at OVER $40,000 and climb very quickly from there. Back in the 1970's when I did this shitty thankless job we had Ford Galaxie's, NO A/C NO RADIOS AND NO CAGES.

1 Month... They are getting ONE month of training... Sad that they have to try and make it sound like they're getting a lot of training when they're not. Just say that they get over half a million seconds of training.

[@akorenkov]

@@limasierra5274 A bajillion hours, at least.

[@MySpitts]

If you cannot grasp a concept after 30 days then maybe you shouldn’t do it. These guys already ride motorcycles in their everyday lives so it’s not a new to them.

[@kman-mi7su]

Spoken like someone who's never been thru a police motor school in those hours, they learn more than 98% of the average rider will ever learn and ride courses tougher than the average rider will ever encounter. After the school, you continue to practice and build the skills you've been shown. And yes, I've been thru it an graduated with a score of 100% for the agency I work for. Knowledge is key and the knowledge to make a fair assessment is gained by doing the school

[@XX-166]

Any training costs money.. if you’re prepared to chip in on that budget let them know that.

[@akorenkov]

@@XX-166 Yeah, you're right. We should just let cops go wild with zero training.

[@MrJuvefrank]

Those bikes look expensive. It ticks me off to see that they don't handle those bikes like babies.

[@DH___]

MrJuvefrank there will always be accidents while learning how to ride, especially when you take a fat ass Harley and load it down with police equipment. You can replace the bags, pipes, and bars on the bike for cheap. Much more expensive for the department to pay their family if they die in service.

[@armandol1826]

[@MrTommyboy68]

They don't care. If they wreck it, the city buys a new one. They don't have to pay for it.

[@MySpitts]

It’s not your Sunday morning rider. This is a police vehicle used for that purpose. Get over it.

[@XX-166]

Get off the couch and put on the uniform and attempt to do what they do and then get back to us Forrest.
