New Recruits

Serving female officers with the Metropolitan Police who have got motorcycle licences were invited to a day at the Mets training facility in North West London with a view to recruiting them into motorcycle duties with the Met. There are several different groups in the Met who use Motorcycles including, Traffic, Diplomatic Protection, Royalty Protection, Special Escort Section and Surveillance. The ladies were allowed to try out the bikes and had an afternoons teaching in some of the techniques required of motorcycle officers. The Met is keen to recruit more women into motorcycle duties as only 1 in 30 motorcycle officers are female.
