I'm a motorman for the Baton Rouge PD in Louisiana and was just wondering if there were anymore on here.

Former; 8 years. Best assignment of my career. Back patrolling in a cage now, but ride my personal bike more than I drive the family sedan.

Ride mine to and from work about everyday, but that's the one assignment the wife said no too. She didn't care if I was the point man running through the door, but was too scared of the morons on the road.

It is def the best job on the department. I've been assigned to motors since 2003 and have enjoyed it. My only complaint is we are only assigned a motor and not a car, so I have been on a bike in every type of weather imaginable.

Our state boys here in Indiana have both. Thgey tell me if it is abouve 40 out and not snowing or raining, they best be on the Harleys. otherwise it is in the cages. We have about 26 bike statecops today. It is growing a few more every year. they are finding out in the metro area like Indy that ther motorcycles are just "ticket" machines.

Course Indianapolis has been know for years of having the finest motor cops in parades. They have performed all over the united states..

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.
