Rich Oliver’s Mystery School secures California POST funding for its Motorcycle Officer Update Course Rich Oliver’s Mystery School is proud to announce that the two-day Motorcycle Officer Update Course now holds the coveted Plan I designation from the California Peace Officers Standards and Training agency (POST)! This new designation allows the participating California Police Departments to receive reimbursement for the enrolled Officer’s travel costs, per diem, class tuition, and backfill. This Police Motorcycle Officer Update course offers two days of training in an unique flat track/off road environment specifically designed for peace Officers. All classes are taught by five-time AMA 250 Grand Prix Champion Rich Oliver, at his private facility in Auberry, CA (30 minutes east of Fresno). This remote location allows full attention to riding and so improving the Officer’s overall motorcycle control. The course is designed to teach turning, balance, sliding, braking, tight area U-turns, negotiating obstacles and pursuit techniques. Each class is limited to eight (8) Officers, allowing one on one instruction and many hours of riding to reinforce the lessons. The curriculum further enhances the officer’s ability to avoid accidents and injury, and to gain a greater level of control in pursuit situations over all types of road surfaces and terrain. Detailed information about the course can be viewed at ~http://www.richoliver.net/POSTMOTORCYCLEUPDATE.html~ or by calling the office at 559-855-3089. Comments about the POST class from SGT. Steve Delema, Traffic Division, Fremont CA. Police Department. “I wanted to let you know how much our Department appreciated the training our Traffic Division received during your P.O.S.T. Motorcycle Update course. Riding a motorcycle during any given day is an inherently dangerous task. When we link motorcycle riding and Police-work together, the stakes rise higher for each individual Officer. We began a search to find a training course that would help raise collision avoidance awareness, throttle, clutch and brake control, body position and balance, and overall safety for our motorcycle Officers. It didn’t take long to find your school with the outstanding references made by personnel in our industry and in the motorcycle community. Your hospitality went above and beyond any of our expectations. The friendly atmosphere, the constant reassurance and your smooth coaching styles assisted with bringing our riders to a higher skill level. The team building drill reinforced how much we can rely on each other to successfully complete any given task. This included co-mingling personnel from two different Departments with the same successful result. Your sharing of the perception/reaction/focus eye exercise was well received, and it will make its way into our Range program in the future as a warm-up drill. The collision avoidance drills, and skills and confidence our personnel developed to control a sliding motorcycle over varying surfaces is priceless. This drill alone will save costs associated to work-compensation claims, equipment repair or replacement, and most importantly, the drill will reduce the number of injured Officers. Thank you again for putting together an advanced training course that is definitely a benefit for enforcement riding. Our Department has made your course an annual training event for all of our motorcycle riders.” 2012 Dates available: March 20-21 April 4-5 April 24-25 May 8-9 June 13-14 July 18-19 September 12-13 October 10-11 November 7-8 December 5-6 To enroll your officers please call 559-855-3089 or visit ~http://www.richoliver.net/POSTMOTORCYCLEUPDATE.html~ Rich Oliver’s Mystery School is sponsored by: Yamaha USA Yamaha Generators Shoei Helmets Cortech Latigo Boots Cytomax Motorex Lindemann Engineering Lightshoe Motion Pro Wilson’s Motorcycles Thank you!
