There has been some buzz about the BMW motorcycles Coronado police officers are using for enforcement around Coronado. The Coronado Police Department released this statement via their Facebook page:
We would like to thank the community for their interest in our new police motorcycle. Based on the questions we have received, we understand that the community is curious, so we thought we would take a moment and share information about the change. First, the change was necessary because Honda no longer makes our police motorcycle. That being said, we searched out the best motorcycle for our use. When we choose a different vehicle we have a process we use to choose the vehicle best suited to that particular use. That turned out to be the BMW… This particular motorcycle is a common motorcycle used by law enforcement agencies. In fact, agencies use this motorcycle in San Diego County. So now, when an old Honda motorcycle is replaced we will use the BMW. Thank you again for your curiosity. Keep an eye out for the new police motorcycle that will be out-and-about in the community, calming traffic and keeping our Coronado roadways safe for all those that travel them. Let’s all make it home safely tonight.
