"Hear hear".
I kept most of my patrol officers on foot to cover vulnerable areas. Multipal off road patrol vehicles continually covered outer zones directed by a few officers who manned central running allot of digital sensors. But it was the gate that was the choke point where various levels of inspections and sensing were conducted depending on the threat level. Some commands were hard on motorcycles with respect to all safety gear. For me it was all about security, so if they had a helmet and a license I considered it an easy search. It was the trucks that were the biggest concern, foreign nationals, also unidentifiable vessels and waterside access. At the center was the Gunner keeping track of the big picture from case investigations, inter jurisdictional cooperation with other agencies, tactical training, and intelligence just to name a very very few. But motorcycles, they never gave me trouble and were always a welcome sight. I even sponsored the area MSF courses for the areas once a year.
Haven't we gotten a bit off track here?
Let's stay focused on motorcycles.
'Nuff said.
