SUBJECT: Resolution to Authorize In-Service Motorcyle Training
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to request that the City council
adopt a resolution authorizing motorcycle training at Hollywood
Park for Santa Monica Police Department motor officers as members
of the South Bay Training Association.
BACKGROUND
In-service or advanced motorcycle training is necessary to insure
maintenance of improvement of motor skills and as a mitigating
factor in potential cases of liability. However, because there
is only one State school which offers advanced motorcycle train-
ingl and that school is in Gilroy, scheduling training for motor
officers in this area is extremely difficult. Attempts were nade
by our Department and the South Bay Training Association to find
adequate training sites, but the attempts were unsuccessful. The
Inglewood Police Depart~ent then approached Hollytvood Park and

requested use of their facility as a training site for motor of-
ficers of the thirteen member south Bay Training Association.
The request was granted free of charge.
The use of Hollywood Park as a training site offers several bene-
fits. Training of the motor officers can be scheduled in eight
hour increments! thereby avoiding depletion of personnel for ex-
tended periods of time and eliminating overtime. And training
costs, particularly travel expenses, will be substantially
reduced.
BUDGETARY/FINANCIAL IMPACT
Exact fiscal costs cannot be calculated at this time. See bene-
fits described in above section.
RECOl.fl1ENDATION
staff recommends that the city council adopt a resolution au-
thorizing the use of Holl~vood Park as a training site for in-
service motorcycle training of Santa Honica Police Department
motor officers.
