OK, so you think you want to be a police officer.
Do you really think you can do the job? Trust me, law enforcement as a career is not for everyone, and everyone that starts out in law enforcement does not make it to retirement. This job is hard on some people, some make it, some don’t, and it’s just the nature of the beast.
Chris Wagoner (Academy Commander)
This is general police work in the protection of life and property through the enforcement of laws and ordinances. Police Officers perform work in accordance with the departmental rules and regulations and receive assignments and instructions from police personnel of higher rank.

EVENT TIME/DATE: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday, April 10, 2010
LOCATION: Pompano Citi Centre, 1955 N. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach – (SW corner of Federal Hwy. and Copans Rd.)
Over 100 police motorcycles from all over the eastern United States and beyond will converge on Pompano Beach to compete in the 21st Annual South East Police Motorcycle Training Seminar and Safety Trials. It is the largest police motorcycle safety skills event held in the Southeast. The rodeo, as it is called, will be held from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 10, 2010 at Pompano Citi Center. The Broward Sheriff’s Office, with over 60 motorcycle deputies, has proudly been affiliated with this event since its inception.
The event has two main benefits. For motor officers from around the country, they train throughout the week and enhance their personal safety skills while at the same time raising funds for the families of slain law enforcement officers through Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) South Florida Chapter and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), both worthwhile charities the law enforcement community supports.
The training courses are designed to enhance the daily riding skills of the motorcycle officer. They are intricate and very demanding and are identical to those used in the police motorcycle enforcement rider school. Three days of training (Wednesday – Friday) precede Saturday’s rodeo (safety trials and Fun Run) which actually simulates challenges motorcycle officers encounter daily. Motor officers must participate in the safety trials to qualify for the Fun Run.
Admission for the event is free and is sure to be an exciting day for the whole family. A new 2010 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 with trailer will be raffled off at the end of the event. Tickets for the raffle are one dollar each and are available at the event. Proceeds will go to both charities, C.O.P.S. and MDA. Last year’s rodeo raised over $50,000 for these charities.
