This year, the Redding Police Department will host the fourth annual Police Motor Competition in cooperation with Big Bike Weekend.
This intense motorcycle skills competition is one of the most exciting you'll see, as officers test their riding skills in a specially designed competition course. Motor officers from across the state will be competing on their service bikes for trophies in Challenge Course, Team Race, and Slow Race.
You can follow the Redding Police Motor Competition on their Facebook page.
