The sport of motorcycle riding is rewarding and fun. This hobby, leisure activity, fraternal sport, or even job requirement is the primary bond that brings this law enforcement organization together. However, all members inherit a certain level of risk when riding on only two wheels. Dangers conditions are created from the inattention of other drivers, environment or external factors, and sometimes from the lack of experience and training by riders themselves. This page will serve as a starting point for many tips and tricks, informational articles, and links to various outside resources to promote rider safety and accident prevention.
Until more content becomes available, please visit the Safety Forum on our bulletin board. Feel free to suggest ideas or post articles to share in the forum as well.
All members should be aware that the club is gathering statistics related to any unfortunate motorcycle accident involving our members. The Online Accident Reporting System (O.A.R.S) was developed as an online tool to gather data from members and to provide statistical information back to the Safety Committee. Please know the OARS system is available, and although not required, we strongly encourage a report be made in the event of an accident.
After several years of involved research and work, the Safety Committee has published the Basic Group Riding Handbook to share with the membership. Please login to the members only Safety Committee page to view and download the handbook.
