The main objective of the course is to introduce selected officers to the Specialized Enforcement Section and to provide the basic training required to operate a police motorcycle as a primary or secondary assignment. The course provides theoretical and practical training related to the Motor Officer School. Officers are expected to perform at the highest level during the training. The training is conducted in three modules. An officer must attend and pass both modules to be certified as a Police Motor Officer, Specialized Enforcement Section, Traffic Division.

Students attending the course must demonstrate an understanding and ability to apply the skills learned in the field. Students are expected to demonstrate control of the police motorcycle on which they are being trained.

The first module will be held at Fort Zancudo, EVOC Training Area. The first module includes the theory of becoming a motor officer, the importance of it, overview of the course. Introduction to the Specialized Enforcement Section, explanation of duties. It also includes a presentation on motorcycles and how to operate a police motorcycle. The introductory part focuses on introducing new ideas to the students so that they can be applied in the second module.

Students are expected to arrive at the Fort Zancudo training facility at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Upon arrival, the student(s) will be directed to the orientation area by the training supervisor. The student(s) will be given a handout with information about the training facility, the Basic Motor School schedule, and will be introduced to the officer team or officer in charge of the training. The general orientation is also the part where any questions prior to the start of the school are asked.

The supervising officer introduces the Specialized Enforcement Section through a verbal presentation or a presentation prepared in a digital format. During Segment 2, the student(s) will be introduced to the Motorcycle Section of the Los Santos Police Department. The presentation will include the duties of a motorcycle officer assigned to the Specialized Enforcement Section. It is also expected that the student(s) will be familiarized with the mission statement of the Traffic Division.

The supervising officer will introduce the student(s) to the Motor Officer Riding Qualification. Officers are expected to be familiar with the guidelines contained in this document. The supervising officer may use digital media to provide the student(s) with information on how to conduct the training in the field.

The student(s) will be provided with the necessary equipment for a motor officer. Students must change into the provided equipment in a designated locker area before proceeding to the next segment. The equipment provided is as follows;

• Motor Breeches; equipment that distinguishes a Motor Officer, made of breathable, lightweight fabric, usually with an additional coating that provides water repellency and stain resistance. Motor breeches are always made of elastic material.
• Full Face Modular Helmet; helmet with department insignia, white and black, serves as protective equipment. Must be worn at all times while operating the police motorcycle. Includes a built-in headset with microphone. Departmental helmets can be connected to the motorcycle's radio system.
• Ankle High Leather Boots; they provide the Motor Officer with ankle protection. Typically reinforced with additional materials, providing the officer with additional protection against burns and any impacts.

Students are expected to bring their utility uniforms, leather gloves and clear or shaded glasses. This equipment is requested to be brought by the student(s) as the qualification does not provide this equipment during the training.

The police motorcycle is the primary tool used by the Motor Officer. Each full-time Motor Officer is assigned a personal motorcycle, which is also the Motor Officer's take-home vehicle. Students will be familiarized with the specifications of the Hakucho Police Motorcycle.

Each Police Motorcycle is equipped with various tools necessary for Motor Officers. Students are going to be familiarized with each piece of the equipment, and if deemed necessary, the purpose of the tool. The equipment of the Police Motorcycle is stored in enclosed and external compartments of the Motorcycle, meaning:

• Rear Side Boxes (left side: breathalyzer, drug swab device, assertion of evidence bags, raincoat, standard high-visibilty vest, first aid kit and traffic control equipment. Right side: citation book, a hard copyy of the State Penal Code, portable Mobile Data Computer, SFST and Miranda Warning flashcards and backup ammunition for the officer's assigned firearms);
• Mounted Equipment (LiDAR gun holstered on the right front side, a phone holder installed on the front dashboard, speed radar mounted to the dashboard);
• Gun Locks or Racks;
• Radio and Emergency Lightning.

Instructors will familiarize students with the stationary speed enforcement tool, the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Gun. The LiDAR gun is used as a replacement for the mounted radar; it is typically used when the motor officer decides to conduct a stationary speed enforcement. Students will be instructed on how to position themselves and how to use the LiDAR while conducting the stationary speed enforcement. ((/oldradar))

Riding Basics will allow the student(s) to understand the basic tactics used when operating a police motorcycle in the field before moving on to Module II of the Training Guidelines. The student(s) will be escorted to the motorcycle parking area where each student will receive a training motorcycle.

Students will be familiarized with the following definitions:

• up-rider: Also known as the Leading Rider, it is the first officer in the squad of Riding Officers, they are the ones who lead the patrol, they are never to be overtaken by other Riding Officers.
• down-rider: Also known as the second or last rider (sweep rider). Responsible for securing the rear of the squad, responsible for placing their motorcycle as cover for other officers when stopped. Down-riders are responsible for following the up-rider and maintaining lanes.
• single file formation: It is a formation used when riding in a squad of Motor Officers. Single file simply means that the up-rider chooses a side of the track, either right or left, and all other Motor Officers follow, staying on the same side of the track as the up-rider. Single file is used whenever the squad must follow linear features, including narrow tracks. Refer to this PICTURE for additional explanation.
• staggered formation: The most basic formation used by the Los Santos Police Motor Officers. The up-rider stays on one side of the lane, while the second rider stays on the opposite side of the same lane. Each rider stays on the opposite side of the same lane from the rider in front of them. This formation is always used as the primary one during all patrols. Refer to this PICTURE for additional explanation.

During training, the squad is led by the supervising officer. The supervising officer is responsible for explaining these terms to the students in a practical manner. Each student is required to take the lead and the last position during the training. Students should not move on to the next segment without practicing the squad's riding formations, assuming different roles in the squad.

The second module focuses on the tactics used by Motor Officers in the field. The duties differ when assigned to a Motor Assignment. It's important to understand certain tactics in order to effectively enforce the law and maintain safety standards. During the second module, officers will learn the techniques to be used in the field. Module II can be conducted in the field or at EVOC's Fort Zancudo Training Center.

Cone threading is an integral part of motorcycle training. After completing the introduction to group riding, students are expected to attempt four different cone patterns. The training prepares students to successfully ride through all four cone patterns. Students will have an unlimited number of attempts during the cone passing portion of the course, however, students will have a limited number of attempts during the evaluation portion of the course.

Motor Officers pull vehicles over daily.It is a major part of field activities as the traffic enforcement. Motor Officers are exposed to a higher degree of danger on the road than normal patrol officers. Before initiating a vehicle stop (also known as a traffic stop), the motor officer must observe the surroundings and traffic activity in order to make a safe traffic stop.

Motor Officers are required to select a safe location for a traffic stop before initiating it. Motor Officers are required to maintain a safe distance (10 miles per hour is the equivalent of one car length, so if the Motor Officer is traveling at 60 mph, they should leave at least six car lengths between the motorcycle and the violator while following). Motor Officers must anticipate possible hazards, so they must find a safe place. After a safe place has been determined, the motor officer may initiate a traffic stop, remembering to allow for sufficient stopping distance.

Motor Officers should always look for additional cover while conducting a traffic stop. A police motorcycle can provide cover, but it is not a hard cover. Motor Officers initiate the traffic stop by activating their front and rear emergency lights and siren (ELS).

Additional traffic stop tactics (PARTNERED PATROL):

The last module serves as the evaluation phase. Upon completion of the second module, students are expected to know all the basics of operating a Police Motorcycle. Officers will be evaluated on what they have learned in the course. A student who will not be able to show excellent field activity will not be allowed to hold a motorcycle assignment with the Specialized Enforcement Section of the Traffic Division of the Los Santos Police Department.

Final evaluation is conducted as a field patrol under the supervision of a qualified MARY Instructor. The field evaluation must take place on a different day than the training day, and officers must demonstrate outstanding performance on a motorcycle under the supervision of a qualified MARY Instructor in order to be certified.

Students will be evaluated on overall performance, including, but not limited to:

• Ability to operate a Police Motorcycle;
• Ability to operate a Police Motorcycle while responding to an Emergency Call;
• Decision making;
• Squad riding performance;
• Ability to combine Traffic and Mary duties (including responding to Traffic Collisions and other Traffic calls).

All students who succesfully finished the Basic Motor Officer Riding Course and passed their Field Evaluation with a qualified MARY Instructor will receive a qualification ribbon.
