Police Motorcyclist Training - France

Continuing the whistle-stop tour of police motorcycle training around the World . . .

France!

For the people in the know, the training and skills level of the French motorcycle Police (known as Gendarmes) is second to none. They are probably at the very top of the pyramid.

Their motorcycle skills training is held over a period, depending on their function, between 5 and 8 months. They also need to repeat training every 5 years.

Their training is both on and off road. Furthermore, they train motorcycle cops from all over the world.

French Motorcycle Gendarme Training (4 minutes 34 seconds)

You'll notice a lot of off-road training. In many of the international (and national) off-road competitions, including the Dakar, there are always a few motorcycle Gendarme teams participating. That's the level these guys & gals reach.
