HARLEY DAVIDSON POLICE ROAD KING FLHP

N.C.P.D. has a fleet of six 2007 Harley Davidson FLHPI six speed Twin Cam 103 cubic inch Road King motorcycles each of which are assigned to an individual Traffic Unit officer as a take home vehicle. The police motorcycle is capable of moving through traffic much easier than the vehicles. The motorcycle is also capable of accelerating quickly, which makes it the ideal tool for apprehending speeding violators. The North Charleston Police Department currently leases each motorcycle from Savanah Harley Davidson on a yearly replacement cycle. This process allows the Motor Squad to maintain a low level of cost for ongoing long term maintenance. Having the motorcycles replaced yearly also ensures that the officers are afforded the latest updates to their assigned motorcycle which in turn keeps them safer.
