If you are reading this, you probably have a friend, family member, loved one, neighbor, etc. that is in the field of Public Safety as well as a motorcycle enthuasist.  Remind them to Wear Their Vests!  Don't leave them on the front seat of the car until they are really needed.  Yes they are hot.  Yes they are warm, but it's easier to wash off sweat at the end of the shift then a bullet.  Sure we may smell a little, but I promise you a hug from a loved one saying thanks for wearing your vest but you stink is much better than the alternative.

  Drivers and Passengers

PLEASE remember to keep your eyes open for us. We drive squads, rescue rigs, motors and ambulances.  We do it fast and precise.  We are more fun to watch than NASCAR since we don't make just left turns.  Don't try capturing video of us while you are driving.  Yes the lights on the rigs are pretty, but pay attention to your driving.  Give us extra room when you pass us while we are helping others.  We appreciate all the distance between us on foot and you in your vehicles.

If you see our lights on or hear our sirens, please get out of the way as quickly as possible.  We are on a mission to help! Pull over to the right shoulder and give us the right of way. We want to get to the scene as quickly as possible and help as many as possible.  

Make sure to keep your eyes open after the first emergency vehicle passes by.  We are like deer, if you see one, you will proably see many more coming.

Finally, If you want to see the pretty lights up close stop by your local public safety agency and ask to see them. Bring your children, grand children, neices, nephews, etc.  Let them meet some real heroes; the men and women of Emergency Services.
