About the Motorcycle Squad
The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office Motor Squad has a proud tradition of service dating back to 1932. The Motor Squad consists of 12 Deputies and 1 Sergeant. The Sheriff’s Office Motor Squad rides Harley-Davidson motorcycles and serves the public in a wide variety of assignments.
Members of the Motor Squad complete an intensive two-week course to become certified as a Motor Deputy. Following the initial course, deputies continue to train throughout their tenure with the squad. The squad enforces speed and traffic laws throughout the county. They also assist the patrol divisions, support Canyon Patrol, participate in parades, regulate traffic-controlled community and charity events, enforce DUI and seat belt laws, participate in funeral escorts, provide dignitary motorcade escorts and assist in a wide variety of community events.
