This unique course is specifically designed to teach proper motorcycle riding and control techniques; enhance the officer’s ability to avoid accidents and injury; and to gain a greater level of control in pursuit situations over all types of terrain.  The course also incorporates turning, balance, sliding, braking, tight area u-turns, negotiating obstacles and pursuit techniques.

By combining all of these skills throughout various drills over a 16-hour training course, the officer will learn skills to become a better rider and your agency may benefit by:

o Reducing Officer Accidents and keeping officers on the streets
o Reducing Workers Compensation Claims
o Reducing hours of work an injured officer misses
o Reducing bike repair or replacements costs

The Motorcycle Update course is approved as a Plan II without tuition reimbursement.  Courses are held in two consecutive day stints and can be scheduled to meet your scheduling requirements!

Tuition is $560 per officer and includes all the instruction and use of the training bike with a quality homemade lunch both days!

To enroll,                             or please call our office at 559-855-3089.

All courses are instructed by five-time AMA 250 GP National Roadracing Champion, Rich Oliver. 
In expanding his knowledge of professional motorcycle racing beyond the race tracks, he created Rich Oliver’s Mystery School, a flat track motorcycle school, in 2001 to share his training and riding techniques with both professionals and enthusiasts.  Rich Oliver’s Mystery School provides instruction through five different programs to help educate riders of all different levels and backgrounds.

Location
Rich Oliver’s Mystery School resides on 10 remote acres in Central California in Auberry, CA. Auberry is located 30 miles outside of Fresno, CA in the Sierra Mountain foothills at an elevation of 2,100’.  We have 10 completely different race tracks on site.  We take tremendous pride in our tracks--the fact that the Mystery School operates at a permanent facility gives us the ability to grade, water, manicure and fine-tune each track for the optimal learning experience.

How long has Rich Oliver’s Mystery School been in business?
Rich Oliver's Mystery School has been in business since 2001.

Other agency participation
Motor officers whom have participated in this course include officers from the police departments of Fresno, City of Bell Gardens, Atwater, Oakland, Lemoore, Hercules, Ridgecrest, Martinez and Chowchilla as well as the Madera County Sheriff Department.

History of injuries, severity, frequency, etc.
As you know, operating any motorized vehicle always brings an opportunity for injury.  We greatly understand this and work to continually build and adjust the curriculum to avoid anything serious.

Protective Gear
All students are required to wear full protective gear: helmet, chest protector, goggles, gloves, off-road jersey and pants, road racing boots, elbow and knee pads. With the course being 'off-road', when students fall, they land in the dirt and generally jump back up and keep going.

      *To save the cost of purchasing protective gear, Rich Oliver's Mystery School offers a gear rental program.  For $25.00 per day, students may use any or all of our head-to-toe gear items for their safety  throughout the course.

Rich also adjusts the curriculum as he goes to account for any riders who may initially be a bit over their head.  If there is an out-of-control rider who may bring harm or injury to themselves or others, Rich will speak to them directly, tone them down and may even ask them to sit out for a few minutes to watch and understand how to correctly achieve the goal of the drill.

Lodging
There are many lodging accommodations in the Fresno, CA and Clovis, CA area to meet your needs.

Note the Steel Shoes used for sliding around the left hand turns.



Rich will work with each officer to make sure the riding skills are learned and then utilized on the street in everyday work situations.


Each officer is tested initially on the Police test course to determine a baseline skill level.


Then at the end of the school, the officers are re-tested on the same course.


The improvement is awesome.
