Lawton Police Rev Up Motorcycle Safety Course This June

If you’re a motorcycle rider in Lawton, the Lawton Police Department and Oklahoma Highway Safety Office just handed you a golden ticket—one that could literally save your life.

On June 5, 2026, the two agencies are teaming up to host a Motorcycle Safety Rider Course at Fort Sill’s motorcycle skills pad, and they’re inviting both seasoned veterans and newcomers to hit the course. The training runs through experienced Lawton Police Department Motor Unit officers who’ve spent years reading the road and mastering two-wheeled dynamics. Whether you’ve been riding for decades or just picked up your first bike last month, there’s something here for you.

Here’s what makes this matter: motorcycle safety isn’t just about following traffic laws—it’s about building muscle memory, understanding how your bike responds in different conditions, and developing the instincts that separate a close call from a tragedy. The course is designed to give riders the practical skills and awareness they need to navigate Lawton’s roads with confidence. And let’s be real—in a community where all road users share responsibility for safety, riders who’ve invested time in genuine training set the example.

One heads-up: you’ll need to bring your own motorcycle. This isn’t a sit-and-listen seminar; it’s hands-on, real-world training on the skills pad.

Interested? Reach out to Sgt. Tanner Josey at tanner.josey@lawtonok.gov to register or grab more details. The Lawton Police Department is positioning this as part of a broader commitment to safer driving habits across the community, and they’re hoping riders won’t let this opportunity slip by. In a town where safety is everyone’s job, this course is a smart move to prove you take yours seriously.
