The competition will take place on November 3rd thru 7th from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm, in the parking lot of Lamar Dixon Expo Center, 9039 S St Landry Ave, Gonzales, La.
Over 165 motorcycle officers representing law enforcement agencies across the United States, along with the Canadian Mounted Police are expected to participate in timed competitions designed to simulate maneuvers and emergency situations faced by motorcycle officers during their regular duties.

The event is free and open to the public.
