Irving Police Motor Unit Compete At Texas Motorcycle Rodeo

The Irving Police Department this week recognized members of its Motor Unit who recently competed in the Sports Capital of Texas Motorcycle Rodeo in Round Rock.

Sports Capital of Texas Motorcycle Rodeo is hosted by the Round Rock Police Department in partnership with the Texas Municipal Police Association (TMPA) and the Round Rock Express. It hosted its third year of activities from March 3-7 at Dell Diamond.
