For the people in the know, the training and skills level of the French motorcycle Police (known as Gendarmes) is second to none. They are probably at the very top of the pyramid.
Their motorcycle skills training is held over a period, depending on their function, between 5 and 8 months. They also need to repeat training every 5 years. Click here to read more about them in an article I wrote.
Their training is both on and off road. Furthermore, they train motorcycle cops from all over the world.
French Motorcycle Gendarme Training (4 minutes 34 seconds)
You'll notice a lot of off-road training. In many of the international (and national) off-road competitions, including the Dakar, there are always a few motorcycle Gendarme teams participating. That's the level these guys & gals reach.
Notice from the photo of the training below, how he's sitting on the saddle when riding off-road.... it's impressive to say the least.
