Summary
Motorcycle patrol officers belong to the police traffic mobile unit and use motorcycles to enforce traffic laws, prevent accidents, rush to incident and accident scenes, and perform other specialized duties.
Description
Motorcycle patrol officers are assigned to police traffic mobile units and drive high-mobility two-wheeled vehicles (white bikes) to enforce traffic laws, prevent accidents, rush to incident and accident scenes, and more. They conduct speed enforcement using radar or laser speed measurement devices, stop and halt violating vehicles, provide guidance to violators, and perform on-site traffic control and first aid. They also participate in traffic safety classes, conduct road inspections, and develop measures to prevent the recurrence of traffic accidents. Activities are primarily outdoors or on highways, requiring the ability to respond quickly and accurately to changes in weather and road conditions.
Future Outlook
Amid efforts to strengthen traffic safety measures, on-site responses utilizing the high mobility of white bikes will remain stably in demand. While operations efficiency improves through collaboration with AI and drones, demand for motorcycle patrol officers with emergency response capabilities is expected to persist.
