Friday the 14^th of September 2012 at 10:00 am, the Corpus Christi Police Department will present certificates of completion to the officers who successfully completed the standardized police motorcycle training course. This demanding 80 hour course replaces the 20 hour course that was previously required by the department for motorcycle officers.

The purpose of the training is to enhance the skills of officers who operate police motors. The conditions and demands of police driving differ from civilian motorcycle operation significantly. The department wants to ensure that our motor officers are as safe as possible when serving our community.

The certification is from a nationally recognized police motorcycle training institute. Two of our own officers are currently certified as instructors, so there was no cost associated with teaching these officers.

This presentation will take place in the Whataburger Field parking lot where much of this training took place.

***UPDATE*** the presentation has been moved to the CompStat room on the 5th floor of the PD building due to rain.
