�ers from Saint Paul and other area depaxhnenu in the safe and confident operarion of a police motorcycle in ffie performance of uaffic
and law enforcement duties on a specially designed police motorcycle. Motorcycle officers are exposed to many types of situarions that
would not be experienced by civilian moYOrcycle operators. This 4aining is very intense and Northwestern Traffic Insritute officers are
exposed to many tyges of situarions that would not be experienced by civilian motorcycle operators. This training is very intense and
Northwestem Traffic Institute recommends that the ra6o of Certified Instructors be 6 to 1. The shident enrollment is currently over that
rario and is expected to xeach 12 students at the beginning of the tcaining. This 4aining will greafly aid in the safety of new police
motorcycle officers.

the loeal certified instructor in training of up to 12 studenu in the elass. The two instructors will be able to exchange haiuuig tec}miques
, and update each other on the basic cowse. Also ffie use of rivo instructors will greafly improve the information each student will receive
