Blue Knights Co. 01 is happy to announce they are hosting the 2010 Colorado State Patrol 75th Anniversary Top Gun Competition September 25, 2010.
The Colorado State Patrol was established in 1935 as a division of the Colorado Department of Highways. The agency was originally known as the Colorado State Highway Courtesy Patrol. It was one of only four law enforcement agencies then existing in the state of Colorado. On September 23, 1935, 44 men selected from a pool of over 7,500 applicants began six-weeks of intensive training at Camp George West, which is located in Golden, Colorado.
On Saturday, September 25, 2010 the Colorado State Patrol will hold an Open House, located at the Academy, from 10am – 4pm, which will include a Police Motorcycle Skills Competition. The Colorado State Patrol has invited the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club- Colorado Chapter 1, to bring their experience hosting the Top Gun Cops Motor Officers’ Competition over the last 21 years.
Competitors and spectators alike are encouraged to attend on Saturday, September 25, 2010. The event’s course will be unique to previous events hosted by the Blue Knights.
Unfortunately registration is closed for this year.
No Tom Cruise at this event. It was motorcycle officers from across the Denver Metro area competing against one another.
This video is the promo for the Blue Knights top Gun Challenge 2010. It was filmed by the Z.E.R.O. Colorado unit. It is the Super Bowl Of Police Motorcycle Obstacle Courses for Police officers to complete in a Fast safe manner without dropping the Bike and knocking over the fewest cones possible in a series of eliminations. The fastest officer with the lowest cones knocked over WINS! There will be another video A LOT better and A BUNCH of Pictures COMING SOON if you would like them we will direct you to the link to get them.
We wish to thank the Blue Knights and all who were there to help us with this Event to be made possible!! charities
I recently received this video from a friend. It is of the 2009 Police M/C competition.
I thought you might like to see it.
Here are the individual winners (so to speak) of the SPMTC (Southern Police Motorcycle Training Competition) event Sat 04/24/10; of course – ALL of the participants are winners…some were just a LITTLE faster!
KAWASAKI Class: MATT SLAUGHTER, MESA PD average time 60.2 sec
BMW Class: ANDREW DREXLER, ALBUQUERQUE PD average time 58.4 sec
HONDA Class: QUINN REDEKER, VENTURA PD average time 54.3
HARLEY-DAVIDSON Class: DUAINE COWLEY, LAS VEGAS PD average time 60.9
Class wise – HONDA 1st, BMW 2nd, KAWASAKI 3rd, and HARLEY-DAVIDSON 4th
Don’t have any TEAM competition results; maybe Stan can get them.
Although a TAD slower than the FOREIGN bikes – HARLEY is still the most comfortable machine – in my opinion – to spend 8-10 enforcement/patrol hours a day on! However – my enforcement/patrol was primarily higher speed FREEWAY (no slower speed surface streets/intersections) riding. And – I’m just an old (seriously) school traditional American made, American look, style, & sound motor officer of years long gone! Glad to see LVPD still believes in the HARLEY product; and boy – those LVPD guys are REALLY good considering the HD size and weight factor! And of course – the FOREIGN bikes can whip HD big time in the quickness and top speed category!
On Saturday April 24, 2010 TPD hosted the annual Motors Competions at Park Place Mall. Blue knight members present were Alan & Brenda Berry, Harry Barden, Norm & Mary Hubbard, Jack & Tracy Grady, Twan Van der Sanden, Mark Robinson, Ray Gedney, Vic Paladini, our own president, Stan Thibaut, who was one of the judges, and former members Don Langoni and Mike “Watash” Walters.
This years TPD Motors Competition will be held @ Park Place Mall, eastside behind LA Fitness on Saturday April 24, 2010.
All judges will be former TPD Motor Officers, either retired, or presently in another assignment within TPD.
The Opening Ceremony will be between about 0700. The competition should start around 0745.
It will be all day with each event running simultaneously, rather than the old way of one at a time. The competition will probably run until approximately 15:30 - 15:45.
They will have event T-shirts, ballcaps and TPD Motors Challenge Coins for sale with the proceeds going to help support The Special Olympics.
