Tonight, after many months of training, Will Wilcox and Kasey Curcio graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training at Haywood Community College. In addition, Officer Curcio was recognized as the Most Outstanding Cadet of the class. We could not be more proud of these two Officers and can't wait to see how they will strengthen the team at the WPD. Join us in congratulating these two and wishing them well as they start their careers.

According to the latest NHTSA data from 2024, 6,228 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes, representing 15% of all the traffic fatalities that year. The fatality rate for motorcyclists was 27 times higher than that of passenger car occupants. This month, we are raising awareness for motorcycle safety, not only for the motorcyclists but also for the motorists.

Here are some tips for sharing the road with motorcycles:

โ€ขRemember that motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as any other motorist.

โ€ขObserve all traffic laws, use signals, and always obey the speed limit. Yield to motorcyclists, especially when you are turning at intersections.

โ€ขMotorcycles are smaller than most vehicles and can be difficult to see. If you are turning at an intersection with an obstructed view of oncoming traffic, wait to see around the obstruction, scan for all roadway users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists), and proceed cautiously.

โ€ขWhen following a motorcycle, allow for plenty of space around the motorcycle to maneuver or stop in an emergency, change speed, or adjust lane position to avoid hazards.

โ€ขNever drive distracted.
