The 2016 Palmetto Police Motorcycle Skills Competition will be held April 6-9, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.,
at Barefoot Landing (beside Greg Norman's Australian Grille) in North
Myrtle Beach. The public is invited to come see the competitions. For a
detailed itinerary visit www.ppmsc.us. The main competition will occur April 9, starting at 8:00 a.m.
Motorcycle
Officers (referred to as Motor Officers) from across the country will
showcase their incredible motorcycle skills, competing for awards and
raising money for charity.
The Palmetto Police Motorcycle Skills Competition is dedicated to:
· Expanding the fraternity of the Motor Officer community
· Increase public awareness of the skills and dedication required to be a Motor Officer
· Providing support for Camp Happy Days (www.camphappydays.org), which provides support services for children diagnosed with cancer and their families throughout South Carolina. With the public’s help, Police are able to continue fulfilling their mission, which is to offer assistance and encouragement to children diagnosed with cancer and their families by providing cost-free, year-round programs and access to crisis resources. Their goal is to improve the physical, emotional and psychological health of the entire family facing pediatric cancer.
While
participation in the event competitions is limited to Motor Officers,
the general public always enjoys watching them perform. Motor Officer
skills are put to the test through a series of
performance-under-pressure events. It takes a great deal of practice to
be able to handle the sheer weight and size of the motorcycle. The
basic idea of Police motorcycle training is to make the motorcycle
itself work to its maximum potential.
