It highlights their eco-friendly policing commitment and enables non-riders to engage effectively with the community, fostering innovation.
UK-based White Motorcycle Concepts designed and constructed the WMC300FRs on the Yamaha Tricity platform.
These distinctive WMC300FR have two wheels in the front and are rideable with a standard car license.
Eight WMC300FR acquired last September; two non-riding PCSOs now trained to patrol streets with these hybrid machines.
The training regimen, spanning four days, prepared the officers for active duty on these eco-conscious patrol vehicles.
Chris Burrows, Thrapston PCSO, found the bike training a great experience, quickly building confidence and grasping its capabilities.
Burrows experienced varied training, from off-road practice to navigating busy roads and a culminating ride to Birmingham on the A45.
“I started patrolling on our team’s bike as soon as I had successfully completed the course. Covering East Northants, the hybrid vehicle proves a valuable resource for patrolling multiple small towns and villages, enhancing community engagement.
