Citrus Heights Police Department
Police Motorcycle Skills Challenge
& Safety Fair
September 19th & 20th, 2014
Friday & Saturday 9am - 5pm
|
Citrus Heights Police Department hosted a Motorcycle Police Skills Competition
at Sunrise Mall in Sacramento today. These events are always fun to watch and good
reminders of how easy it is to outrun a motorcycle officer... WROOOONG!!!
Motor officers threw their 1000 pound Harleys and 800 pound beemers around like
toys. Although the beemers have good ground clearance while laid over, the Harleys
have equally good clearance when they are laid over on the floor boards. Interestingly
enough, the CHP has returned to providing Harleys to their motor officers.

Practicing of these skills and participation in events such as this are good for keeping motor officers
in tune for situations that require them to maneuver through, around, in between, over and across obstacles
in a timely manner.
