Motor Patrol

The Bensalem Township Motor Patrol unit was established in April 2000. The unit currently consists of 5 officers: Tim Henehan, Chris Terinoni, Brian McMahon, Mike Brady, Adam Kolman and one supervisor, Sgt. John Gladu. All members of this unit have been trained by the Philadelphia Highway Patrol. The Motor Patrol currently rides 2007 Harley Davidson Road Kings.

The Motor Patrol is a high profile unit that participates in numerous dignitary and funeral escorts, parades and various community events in addition to the daily operations of maintaining public safety and service.Starting this year, the unit will also be patrolling the “off-road” portions of the township on ATV’s.

Bensalem’s Motor Patrol unit was one of the first outside agencies to participate in the Philadelphia Police Hero Scholarship Thrill Show.In 2007, Sgt. Gladu and his unit coordinated the first “Ride for Heroes.” The annual “Ride for Heroes” is a motorcycle run through Bucks County that raises money for the Bucks County Heroes Scholarship Fund.Over 120 riders participated in last year’s event raising $3,300.00.The event was a great day capped off with a thrill show where members of the Motor Patrol performed displays of precision riding and thrilling stunts.

Many families and community members came out to last year’s Fall Festival and witnessed the Motor Patrol’s 2007 Motorcycle Thrill show.In case you missed it, the Bensalem High School Audio/Visual Department captured the show in its entirety.Just click the link to the left and enjoy.
