Advanced Motor School

Total Control AMS^®

The Ultimate Tactical Motor Enhancement Experience!

The Total Control Advanced Motor School (TCAMS) is a unique three-day training opportunity. It consists of classroom and closed-circuit range sessions by certified Total Control Advanced Motor Instructors and will take your riding to another level.

Who It Is For

TCAMS is designed for the Police Motor Officer who has successfully completed a Basic Police Motor Officer School and desires to enhance operational skills including cornering and obstacle avoidance on their patrol motorcycle. This course is not manufacturer-specific and includes all brands of motorcycles utilized by U.S. Law Enforcement. New high-tech designs with increased power and speed require advanced operational skills training to enhance officer safety and lesson agency liability.

What It Covers

The Total Control Advanced Motor School encompasses skills training beyond the scope of initial police operator training, such as advanced limited space maneuvers, advanced braking and swerving techniques. The predominant training includes techniques associated with road speed cornering; a skill not covered in depth during basic police motor schools due to skill levels and time restraints.

The Advanced Motor School is conducted in conjunction with host police agencies across the U.S. In collaboration with hosting agencies, Total Control will create quarterly training schedules and utilize convenient on-line student registration.

Total Control police instructors will travel to training locations, set up and conduct the course while utilizing two or more major brand police motorcycles for demonstrations of path of travel and the various techniques required by each. This program also provides an opportunity for officers and agency administrators to evaluate two or more major bands and compare operational differences in advanced maneuvering situations.

John Young began riding motorcycles at age seven on the family farm in west Texas. After high school John attended Odessa College and after graduation he became a third generation Police Officer. In 2007 John was recruited by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and relocated to Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Austin where he served in the Training Academy as the State Director of Motorcycle Safety, Training and Education. In 2011 John created a new Motorcycle Patrol Unit within Texas DPS as the agency had discontinued using motorcycles in 1956. John retired from the State of Texas in January 2020 and immediately began work with Texas A&M University Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) within the Law Enforcement Training Division.

At TEEX John developed a new modernized Police Motorcycle Training Curriculum to offer a new and improved Basic Police Motorcycle Course, which would travel to other states offering the school. John continues the development of Police Training Curriculum and has teamed up with Total Control to harness the evidence-based cornering techniques needed in an Advanced Police Course so motor officers may maximize the motorcycles capabilities and expand lifesaving skills.
