Windsor Colorado Police Department

[woverby]

My wife and I went on a tour of the Windsor Police Department's new facility today. Over 43,000 square feet and $30 million to build!  No, @L2Lump, we WERE NOT wearing "bracelets" during the tour!!

The Windsor Rec Center offers tours throughout the year. Last time, we took "the Denver Mob Tour". We visited areas in town and buildings/homes/businesses that were once largely controlled and/or owned by the Italian Mafia well into the 1960s.  I grew up about two miles away, and even as a kid, I was warned about the Mafia and some of their activities that went on near where I lived.

But I digress and now back to the Motorcycle Forum.  During the tour, we learned that the Windsor Police department had two motorcycles bikes and patrol officers.  They had just purchased a third bike recently, and are still fitting it with "police department stuff".  And to the point, it looks like the days of police departments using Harley motorcycles are fading..

Oh, and anyone involved with martial arts on the forum, the Windsor Police Officers train in "Krav Maga".

We have a motor unit at my place. A street glide with a custom 9/11 paint scheme for parade duty, two road kings and two new road glides.

I think almost all of the Ohio departments that have moto officers went to the BMWs also. I know Columbus uses them a lot and they are very much in patrol around there as the beltway (I-270) seems to be a racetrack.

I didn't notice the reflection when I took the picture, but did see it when I was posting the pic.  The short answer is, "I dunno"...

Sooo, a question I should have asked.  If there are only two police motorcycles with a third on the way, why is the bike in the picture #236?  JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND!

Jealous. Wish I had a $30 mil police facility. We could use some upgrades in our 20 year old facility
