MOTOR UNIT

In June 2006, the North Fond du Lac Police Department started to utilize a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide police motorcycle for patrol operations.

In addition to being a highly effective patrol tool, the Motor Unit is used in many special events throughout the community.

The decision to add a motorcycle to the patrol fleet was primarily driven by the desire to help reduce vehicle related costs; most notably the rapidly increasing cost of gasoline. The Motor Unit was also seen as a golden opportunity to further enhance community relations through increased personal contact with citizens, as well as improving general patrol techniques and traffic education / enforcement efforts.

There are currently three officers assigned to the Motor Unit. Officers Jeremy Sternweis and Tim Bakri have completed the Harley-Davidson Police Motorcycle Training Program. Sergeant Donovan Heavener was previously certified by the State of Washington as a Police Motorcycle Operator and coordinates the program for our department.

Each year, Open Road Harley-Davidson of Fond du Lac leases the motorcycle to the Police Department at a low cost. New Vision Signs of Fond du Lac does the decaling work on the motorcycle. The North Fond du Lac Police Department is grateful to both businesses for their generous support of the Motor Unit Program.
