Motorcycles from the moment they appeared were in demand among the military and special services. They were ridden not only by officers, but also by policemen. Two-wheeled vehicles helped to quickly reach the destination and the incident. In developed countries, they understood that special services needed equipment. Somewhere motorcycles appeared sporadically, and in the USA, for example, a “cop” on a bike is almost a symbol of the country. It is not surprising that police models appeared in large numbers in North America. Of course, this is Harley-Davidson and Indian.
The Soviet police also had their own motorcycles. They were made in small batches and not sold to civilians. The heaviest bikes made in the USSR were taken as the chassis - these are the Ural and Dnepr. The traffic police had especially many motorcycles. There were both classic boxers with sidecars, and loners, unusual to the eye of a Soviet person, on their chassis.
Italy also had police motorcycles. Most of all, Moto Guzzi has worked in this field. And in those countries where there were no bike manufacturers, but there were policemen, Japanese models were supplied.
