SPMTC 2012 LogoSPMTC History
The Southwest Police Motorcycle Training & Competition (SPMTC) was started back in 1997 by the Tucson Police Department.  The initial intent was to bring motorcycle police officers together in an exchange of training techniques, while competing in a friendly skills competition.  The organizers, however, wanted to do more.  As a result they decided that SPMTC should also be a fund raiser.  Special Olympics Arizona, through the Law Enforcement Torch Run, became the charity choice.In order to reduce the work load on any one agency, it was decided that SPMTC would rotate between several different agencies.  It took a couple of years, but in 2000 the Phoenix Police Department hosted its first SPMTC event.  Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department joined the rotation in 2001.  For the past decade SPMTC has rotated between the Tucson Police Department, Phoenix Police Department and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.  Each department has taken great pride in their ability to raise money for Special Olympics, while providing an entertaining venue for the public.  This year's event raised $30,000 for Special Olympic athletes here in Arizona.
