  • It is a historic change for the Michigan State Police. For generations, police have used motorcycles to patrol and respond to crimes. Now the MSP motorcycle unit is being disbanded.

    Numerous departments have gotten rid or better yet tried to get rid of their Motorcycle Units before realizing their usefulness and bringing them back. As well more Troopers have died in vehicle accidents than motorcycle accidents over the years. Me thinks someone high up just doesn't like motorcycles !!!!

    Motor officers are the "Cowboys" of every department . There ARE special considerations where bikes are needed , but they are few and far between. Summertime...OK .

    Unfortunately the world is getting more and more distracted. Look at the way emergency lights were years ago vs now. Many police cars had a lightbar and flashing headlights, now they have several several flashing lights, Michigan State police don't have many lights but no matter, someone is distracted they won't see the lights, drunk drivers use the cars with lights flashing as target practice. The roadway is not a safe place to be.

    Just another way to restrict our Police from doing their job. It's a bad idea to take away the motorcycles; They can respond to some incidents when cars can't. The Officers know the extra risk they take when they choose the motorcycle unit. Keep our Cops on their Bikes!

    Motorists ignore Police Cars during Emergency Runs with all the Lights and Sirens they have, live is too short on doing the same calls on Two wheels. Officers have Zero protection around them. I know several guys who have given the MC keys back to the department after near misses on Traffic Stops and Emergency Runs. Too many cars out there now and everyone is on their phones.

    The younglings out there that are turning into adults don't recognize that motorcycles can get to places where other vehicles cannot if there was an emergency you need the motorcycle on the road to get in between to get to the urgent area where the accident may have happened if it's block with other
