| School Overview To apply to this school you must be a police officer for at least 3 years and have a clean record. You need to pass a written test and oral interview. Class size is small. The class I attended had six students and four instructors. |
| Curriculum / Course Desription Two weeks at a 17-acre training facility followed by a week on the street. Each day begins at 6 am and ends around 3:30 pm. Training is intense and students wear knee pads, elbow pads, vests, gloves and eye protection. It is not unusual to dump the training bikes 20-30 times per day during the first week. Only officers passing a demanding timed trial at the end of week 2 are allowed to move on to Week 3. If an officer passes Week 3, they’re assigned to a more experienced officer and undergo six months of on-the-job training where many of the drills used during training are practiced before or after the work day. |
| Larsen’s Review This was the most physically and psychologically demanding training in which I’ve ever participated. I wrote about it here. These three articles in Motorcycle Consumer News provide detailed descriptions of many of the exercises the officers went through. |
