Motor
Patrol (Motorcycles)
The
October 7th Park Road Parade marked the first day of use of
the police department's two new Harley Davidson motorcycles
being operated by Traffic Division Lieutenant David Dubiel,
Officers Christopher Chappell, Brian Hill, and Richard Gesualdi.
The police motorcycles were purchased through a $60,000 grant
from the Department of Transportation.
The
West Hartford Police Department first began using motorcycles
on October 7, 1923 when it acquired a 4-cylinder Henderson.
The motorcycles were discontinued in 1985. The parade marked
the 83rd anniversary of the return of department's original
motorcycle unit. The new motor units are being used for traffic
enforcement details.
