1. Purpose of the Motorbike Unit

The Motorbike Unit exists to enhance operational effectiveness through:

  • Rapid response in congested environments

  • Traffic enforcement and high-visibility policing

  • Tactical support in pursuits

  • Reconnaissance and mobility in restricted areas

MBU officers are support assets and are not primary intercept units in high-risk car pursuits.

  • A Sergeant or above may override these limits when operationally necessary.

  • Maintain a safe distance to reduce the risk of ramming or brake-check collisions.

  • Deadly force is authorised only if a suspect intentionally attempts to ram the officer at speed.

  • The rider must attempt disengagement before escalating force.

  • Firearms must not be discharged while the bike is moving.

  • The bike must be stationary and the officer must seek cover before engaging with a firearm.

  • Baton use is permitted below 20 MPH strictly for self-defence purposes.
