17 Officers Trained In Motorcycle Riding To Boost Road Safety

The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) commenced a motorcycle training course on Monday. Miguel Lansiquot, Inspector of Police in charge of the Traffic Department, Castries, explained that the training is part of efforts to improve road safety, following a mandate from Police Commissioner Verne Garde. According to Lansiquot, the course aims to equip 17 police officers with knowledge of the basic functions and manoeuvres of operating a motorcycle. “We do advanced courses for our more experienced riders, but this course is set to just teach new people coming into the riding fraternity the manoeuvrability… how to ride a motorcycle properly,” Lansiquot stated. As the course is certified by the Department of Transport, Lansiquot noted that “on completion of the training, [officers] will be getting the endorsement for motorcycles.” After the training, officers will receive on-the-job practice to further enhance their skills. The course is scheduled to run for two weeks. The article 17 Officers Trained In Motorcycle Riding To Boost Road Safety is from St. Lucia Times.
