Is there a point where you've practiced enough?

As I understand it, police training tries to make practice as realistic as possible, sort of like using live amo being fired overhead in army basic training, but still and never will be the same thing as the actual situation, each of which is different from previous. I still think it makes sense for cops to back off on or eliminate pursuit situations and rely more on their network. In some countries, police do not pursue except the most extraordinary conditions. Would be interesting to know the stats of the police MC accidents during pursuit verse routine activities.

Riding a motorcycle is a perishable skill. Practice Practice Practice. Especially those of us who can't ride 12 months out of the year. It seems like when you get the bike out in the spring you're never quite as good as when you put it away in the fall.

Got into this late, but whose to say that they get practice and training after thier first training into motors. I have been around Military and LEO long enough to know the vast majority of officers training in certain areas are right when they are brought onto the department or when they are put into a new position. After that if the officer dosen't go out and get his own he or she won't get any follow up training. Most Departments have a tight budget and this isn't what they want to sepnd money on.

There are very few departments that I am aware of that give any extra training on driving skills to officers after they get out of the academy.

On one of my regular rides in Utah, I'd pass a LEO pursuit training course out in a rural area. One car would be the bad guy, and some other cars would be chasing it through the course.

I wished that they would let me be the bad guy :)
