Suggestion Title: RTPC Raptor Bike Driver Training

Division: MET - RTPC

I believe there should be an additional qualification for bike which you can achieve through a small application which could be always open/interest form once you have completed all relevant competencies including SEG and passed probation etc.
This additional training package should include the following but not limited too;
- Pursuit driving with multiple other police bikes as primary whilst chasing other bikes, mopeds, pedal bikes and quad bikes.
- Commentary training to raptor units to get ahead to perform contact and other tactics as necessary
- Additional stinger/spike training of riders to get them deployed quickly, efficiently and safely in areas which you may not typically use
- Possible fictional tactics which could include assisting with pre-emptives such as using bikes to block other bikes in(not quad bikes), using their bikes to block pedestrians in safely after decamp etc.

You may ask what callsign they could use, I would suggest something like OC60+ which means they are displayed slightly differently, although along with the raptor cars which would be ideal for us to know who is available etc. However, I know how this server can be with adding more callsigns because it is "confusing" for new members.. to which it doesn't concern them nonetheless. So they could use just the normal raptor callsigns which are OC50+.


I believe this could and would be used a lot alongside Raptor teams and can be incredibly effective to us as RTPC as a whole, bringing more progression opportunities in RTPC as well as more things people can look forward too! This would be a great step-up in the division as it would allow more people to be involved in our specialist tactics!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv2q_7-Trvw - This clip you can see at least 2 police bikes engaged in the bike pursuit alongside what appears to probably be scorpion units(in pmp raptor)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=807PIVPxpY8 - Time 0:57 - Also throughout this video shows most of these pursuits involve a police bike
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqBnPZfNG5I - Another clip from another view of above at timeframe 1:03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLYkWXztZU8 - Time 1:47 shows multiple scorpion police bikes involved in chasing and capturing these suspects

I know it is a long one, and if I have worded anything weird, please do ask and please do read it and provide opinions, feedback etc before fobbing it off! Thanks so much.

This is a good idea to involve bikes in RAPTOR pursuits, however, with the callsigns, I feel as though we should utilise OC1 - OC9 rather than OC60+. Also, I think that multiple bikes should be allowed to deploy operationally such as for RAPTOR calls in order to assist.
 
The speed of the RTPC bikes would have to be increased. As I found out recently during a raptor FTS, the RTPC bike can't keep up with the bikes accessible by civilians

Additionally, if there's a 'raptor bike unit' online, does their still need to be 4 TPAC or 4 raptor online for the bike to be used? And if so, does that limit the normal use of the bike?
 
Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion.

We are currently looking at changing some aspects of RTPC and RAPTOR is on our list 👀

As such, i will move this to DECLINED for now....
