The General Escobedo, Nuevo León police force trains its motorcycle officers on an APEX simulator: 300 riders trained and 33% lower maintenance costs.
The municipality of General Escobedo, Nuevo León, equipped its police force with an APEX motorcycle simulator to train its motorcycle officers: balance, emergency braking, and riding through traffic, all practiced in an environment where a mistake never costs an injury.
The motorcycle is the most exposed vehicle
A motorcycle officer faces the highest road risk on the force: they respond first, ride between lanes, and have no bodywork around them. In the simulator they practice exactly the situations that cause the most accidents — braking on wet pavement, car doors opening, blind intersections — with the lean and controls of a real motorcycle.
The program by the numbers
- 300 riders trained
- 33% lower vehicle maintenance costs
- 17% lower accident rate
With this program, Escobedo joins the Nuevo León municipalities professionalizing police driving through simulation — like San Pedro Garza García, which trains both patrol and motorcycle to the same standard.
