South Carolina Highway Patrol Motor Unit
The South Carolina Highway Patrol was created in 1930. Motorcycles
were chosen instead of cars to patrol the roadways because motorcycles were less expensive to operate. Originally, half
of the Patrol's motorcycles were Harley-Davidson and the other half were Indian motorcycles. The Highway Patrol
later switched solely to Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Troopers continued to drive motorcycles until 1937. It was not until 57 years later in 1994 that the Highway Patrol re-established
the motorcycle program with only two troopers. The motorcycle unit was put under the ACE (Aggressive Criminal Enforcement
Team). Soon after, four more troopers were added to the program. The motorcycle program used Harley-Davidson and
Kawasaki motorcycles in 1994, and then became first law enforcement agency in the nation to use BMW 1100cc motorcycles.
Today, the Motorcycle Unit is comprised of 25 troopers, assigned to five Regions throughout South Carolina. The troopers
drive Honda ST-1300 motorcycles. The mission of the motorcycle Unit is to respond to areas of the state to conduct enforcement
assignments that include aggressive driving, road rage and selective enforcement, based on prior crash data. The five Regions of the ACE Team Motorcycle Unit are: - Region 1 - Columbia and surrounding counties
- Region 2 - Greenville
and surrounding counties
- Region 3 - York and surrounding counties
- Region 4 - Myrtle Beach and surrounding counties
- Region
5 - Charleston and surrounding counties
