Police Motorcycle Operator Training 

Requirements:     Participants must have a motorcycle endorsement or permit.

The Saint Paul Police Professional Development Institute (PDI) is sponsoring an 80-hour course on POLICE MOTORCYCLE OPERATOR.

This intensive program will develop the coordination, skill, and confidence necessary for the student to operate a police motorcycle safely and efficiently.  The course will cover the following: machine nomenclature (Harley Davidson or Kawasaki), slow maneuvering, control braking, curve negotiation, defensive driving techniques, law enforcement techniques, and on/off road driving.  Students will need to bring their department-owned motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves (not fingerless), and over the ankle boots.  Upon successful completion, the students will be fully prepared for on-the-job training with their own department.  A minimum of 3 students is needed for this class to proceed.
