Here is the article archive of headlines that have appeared in newspapers around the United States which relate to police motorcycle officers. 1/6/2009 Motorcycle officer appears in court on DUI charge - New London, CT New London patrol officer Patricia Tidd, who was charged with driving under the influence following an off-duty motorcycle accident in September, has applied for an alcohol education program. Tidd, 38, of Bloomingdale Road, Quaker Hill, was the first female to graduate from the state police motorcycle course.

Accounts say he was pursuing a motorist eastbound on Cross Timbers Road when a driver in a Toyota Camry turned in front of him. Unable to avoid a collision, Schmidt's motorcycle struck the passenger side of the Camry. The impact threw him more than 70 feet and knocked his helmet from his head. The husband and father of two was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with a traumatic brain injury, nine broken ribs, collapsed lungs and broken bones in his leg, arm, hand and wrists. "That's the closest I've seen to an officer being killed in an accident," said Flower Mound police Sgt. Shane Jennings, who thought that his colleague would never return to the police force.

Deputy Mike Ramirez, the county’s only motorcycle deputy, has worked as a contract deputy for the town for the past eight years. Sunnyvale Mayor Jim Phaup contends that Sheriff Lupe Valdez’s transfer of Ramirez without prior notice to the town and without replacing him constituted a breach of contract. The town pays the county more than $1 million a year for 10 patrol deputies under the contract. Ramirez was one of more than 20 deputies transferred to different jobs or shifts in December. He and three other deputies have hired a lawyer and are claiming they were transferred to the jail because they supported the sheriff’s Republican rival in the recent election....
