The police motorcycle has deep roots in the history of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. In 1916, the Columbia River Scenic Highway was completed, linking the Oregon Coast to the Columbia River Gorge. According to historical documents, the purpose of this highway was to provide a scenic highway for patrons to access the natural beauty of the Columbia Gorge. Much to everyone’s surprise, the road quickly became a very busy highway.

In the 1936, the Rose City Motorcycle Club started the Rose City Motorcycle Club stunt team. About a year later the team fell under the supervision of the Multnomah County Sheriff and became the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Reserve Motorcycle Stunt or Drill Team.
