  • Police-Motorcycle-Brochure.Pdf
    2 3 Harley-Davidson was born in a wooden shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1903. Five years later, our first police motorcycle was delivered. Our unwavering commitment has kept us at the front of the motorcade ever since. Today, the vast majority of motor units in the United States ride Harley-Davidson® Police motorcycles. We consider it an honor to serve people who make enormous contributions—and sometimes sacrifices—to keep the rest of us safe and free. WE ANSWERED THE CALL IN 1908. AND WE STILL HEAR IT TODAy. To a motor officer, the call of duty is so powerful. It can echo across generations. Around the country, there are countless examples of motor officers who have passed the torch to their children, who sometimes pass it on to yet another generation, creating a family legacy of duty, honor, and service. We approach our work with the same kind of passion they do, a passion that elevates our job into a calling too. 4 5 That first order for police motorcycles in 1908 went to the Detroit Police Department. The DPD Motor Unit is steeped in traditions, at least two of which carry on to this day. One of them is that the uniform of a motor officer includes a leather bow tie. The other is that the uniform of a motor officer also includes a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. THE ONLy POLICE MOTORCyCLE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. By the late 1920s, Harley-Davidson® motorcycles were a familiar sight in America, performing important work for more than 3,000 police departments and government agencies.

  • Motorcycle-Related Injuries to Children and Adolescents
    MOTORCYCLE-RELATED INJURIES TO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS by Narelle Haworth Joan Ozanne-Smith Barbara Fox Irene Brumen Monash University Accident Research Centre .VicHealth May 1994 Project funded by Victorian Health Promotion Foundation Report No. 56 Printed by the Australian Road Research Board as part of an agreement with Monash University Accident Research Centre. MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No Report Date ISBN Pages 56 May 1994 0732600553 91 Title and sub-title Motorcycle-related injuries to children and adolescents Author(s) Type of Report & Period Covered Haworth,N.L. Ozanne-Smith, 1. E. GENERAL, 1992-94 Fox, B. Brumen,1. Performing Organization Monash University Accident Research Centre Wellington Road Clayton Victoria 3168 Sponsoring Organization Victorian Health Promotion Foundation 333 Drummond Street Carlton Victoria 3053 Abstract This study is an exploratory one, aiming to assess the magnitude of the problem of motorcycle-related injuries (both on- and off-road) to children and adolescents, to characterise the crashes and resulting injuries and to suggest possible countermeasures. Analyses of hospital admission data (Victorian Inpatient Minimum Dataset - VlMD) showed that Police-reported data account for only 80.4% for 18-20 year old motorcyclists involved in on-road crashes and only 37.4% for under 18 year olds in on-road crashes. On- and off-road crashes were each responsible for a total of more than 4000 hospital bed-days in Victoria in 1991. This comprised 2822 and 1282 hospital bed-days for on- and off-road injuries, respectively. From information derived from the Victorian Injury Surveillance System (VlSS) and the VlMD, it is estimated that motorcycle injuries to riders and passengers aged under 21 result in 1868 presentations to Emergency Departments in Victorian hospitals per year.

It outlines a range of issues affecting motorcycling in Australia and sets out directions to be taken by the industry over the next three years (2017–2020). These will reinforce the status of motorcycling as an important transport mode offering significant benefits to regulators, planners, and communities, and to the riders themselves.

  • Motorcycle Safety Action Plan
    Motorcycle Safety Action Plan Working together, towards roads free from death and serious injury Contents 1. Setting the scene 4 2. Understanding the challenge 6 2.1 Motorcycle collisions and casualties 6 2.2 Motorcycling in London 6 3. Understanding the causes 8 3.1 Motorcycle risk in London in context: who, where, when? 8 3.2 Motorcycle collisions: why? 12 3.3 In depth analysis of police motorcycle fatality investigations 13 3.4 Personal protective equipment 15 3.5 London’s motorcycling population 16 4. Actions to reduce motorcyclist injuries in London 18 5. Monitoring outcomes 26 2 Foreword Many Londoners choose motorcycles to get around our city as they provide flexible personal mobility. Yet motorcyclists face the highest levels of collision risk on our roads – a situation we are determined to improve. London has a long history of successful initiatives to increase the safety of motorcyclists. Since 2000 the number of motorcyclists killed in the Capital has been halved. In 2013 the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) published Safe Streets for London: an ambitious and comprehensive plan to reduce further the number of people killed or seriously injured in London by 40 per cent by 2020. To achieve this target, and work towards the ambition of a future with roads free from death and serious injury, this Motorcycle Safety Action Plan, a first for London, sets out 29 actions. These cover many areas, including an ambitious programme of engineering, education and enforcement, together with increased investment in road safety. Collaborative working will be critical to success. We have already put this at the centre of our approach with the establishment of the Road Safety Steering Group for London, as well as a Motorcycle Safety Working Group to ensure that we are working with partners across the Capital to make motorcycling safer.
