At my dept if there is precipitation they go in cars. However policy does not allow them to opt into cars until the temps drop below 32. And there is no option for cars in the heat.

As much as I would have loved to be a motor officer, it wasn't in the cards. My agency doesn't have bikes. Oh well, the only dream job I can't fulfill. I did get to work as a K-9 officer for 6 years. That will probably be the favorite part of my career.
My x-wife was a real dog,I tried to give her to the local PD. Just sayin

Many years ago when I worked in a tool warehouse in Seattle a Motor officer turned into the little street our loading dock was on to make a U turn. There was gravel and loose dirt and he lost it and it fell over. I happened to see it so I jumped off the dock and ran over and helped him get it upright.
At first he was a little put out but then he realized I was just trying to help and wasn't questioning his man hood trying to right that heavy thing.
It paid off in spades and many of the motor officers had lunch at the little cafe across the street where I went frequently too. Got invited to sit with them many times and even a free lunch from time to time.
Got me out of a ticket once too.

One (actually most) of the departments I'm applying to doesn't have a motor unit, but as I am just getting started we can only see what happens. FYI, for those that are going to ask, we take the TCLEOSE test on the 27'th of this month. Until then, it is all test and review, so we're pretty well done.
Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.
Congrats and good luck!

That notch in the rail is supposed to be there
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson (1764).
