| Correction Officer's Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club |
For the first time in biker history, there is now an exclusive Nation-wide, law enforcement motorcycle club
designed for civilian Corrections (The Geo Group and Corrections Corporation of America), County, State, Federal
and Military Correction Officers. With over 40 law enforcement motorcycle clubs in the world, only a few allow
Correction Officers to apply for membership, with their main emphasis on Police Officers. This is the very first
Nation-wide Correction Officers law enforcement motorcycle club designed by a Correction Officer for civilian (Geo
Group, and CCA), county, state, federal and military Correction Officers, the Department of Corrections personnel,
and their family and friends.
HCMC is the first Correction officer MC to use the LE as a patch. LE stands for law enforcement. Correction
officers enforce the law within their facilities through the powers given to them by County, State and Federal
courts. Many facilities have C/O's that have powers of arrest. These C/O's may or may not have been deputised by
their respected Sheriff's departments. They in turn enforce the law at even a greater level then their counterparts.
Other C/O's are also part-time police officers. Military personnel can be both corrections and police.
HCMC's philosophy and by-laws are quite different then other Correction Officer MCs. It is much harder to acquire
membership in this club. The initial cost is much higher then others. The embroidered patches are of the highest
quality. The requirements to maintain membership are based on time in employment, honor, honesty,
confidentiality, responsibility, maturity and team effort. And I am not saying that the other MC's are lacking in any of
this; just that these HCMC by-laws are different.
HCMC will never consider this MC to be better then any other Correction MC. As far as I am concerned, no MC is
better than any other MC. What is best for a potential member is for them to decide which MC is better for them.
The philosophy of any MC is what makes or breaks that MC. Members join because they believe in the clubs way
of life. They make their decisions based on what they see, feel and hear.
I have been in contact with many MC members and their office holders. We all have the understanding that all
bikers are brothers and sisters. And like all families, you don't always see eye to eye, and don't always get along
with each other.
Any MC who gains another member...good for them. Any MC who looses a member to another MC...bad for one,
good for the other one. The member is still a biker; still in a club, and still supporting one of hundreds of charity
funds that nearly all MC's are involved in around this country. It's good business to keep the biker in a club, no
matter who's club it is.
Some MC's are non-profit. Some are considered a business. HCMC can be considered a small business. It takes a
certain amount of money to cover the cost of a nationwide MC. It will advertise through snail mail, magazines and
the Internet. It will take all available steps in the business world to acquire new Correction officer members and
open new chapters. No different then any other business minded MC has done.
There is no doubt that HCMC will gain former members from other MC's. There is also no doubt that I will loose
members to all ready established Correction officer MC's. That is the way things are, that's life in the business
world. Bottom line is, the biker is still riding with other bikers, enjoying life and supporting other bikers and their
philosophies. That is known as freedom of choice!
As for who I am... I have been a Correction Officer at Strafford County Department of Corrections in Dover, New
Hampshire for the last 12 1/2 years. Prior to that I spent 2 1/2 years at Hillsborough County Department of
Corrections in Manchester, New Hampshire. I am 54 years old and have been married to the same beautiful and
loving woman for nearly three decades who has given me 5 beautiful children any parent would be proud to call
his or her own. I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology and an Associates degree in Criminal Justice. I am a
former US Navy sailor (Signalman, Corpsman, Radar Operator/Operation Specialist, and Air Intercept Controller)
who served proudly on the U.S.S. Santa Barbara AE-28, U.S.S. Lawrence DDG-4 and the U.S.S. America CV-66. I
hold a few metals and ribbons from that era. I am a Vietnam Veteran 72 to 73, and proud to have served my
country in its time of need. Onboard the U.S.S. America CV-66 I participated in the attempt to rescue the hostages
in Iran. At this time I run a part time Martial arts school (Jujitsu, Chin Na, Aikido, and Wing Chun Kung Fu) out of my
home. I also manufacture and sell specialized martial arts equipment over the Internet. I am the son of a former
professional boxer, and Correction Officer. My father was a MC Vice President who ran two different MCs back in
the 70's. I'm an American and proud of it!

| What's a HARD CHARGER? Someone who cares and does something about it! More then just a team player and unlike a traditional team leader! Someone who gives all they've got when it is necessary to correct or improve a situation, with absolutely no self-interest except to right a wrong! To travel a different path that leads to betterment for all living things! To get the job done at all logical cost! To have given "blood, sweat and tears" and asked for nothing in return! Someone who is loyal to themselves, their family, their profession, and their country! |
| HCMC GOALS To bring all biker personnel within the Department of Corrections the world over closer together. Riding and sharing experiences with those who understand the profession we work in. To share valuable time with other motorcycle enthusiasts while creating a local, statewide, national and international bond with our brothers and sisters in the world of Corrections. To make the profession that we have chosen to work in a better place. To spend off-duty time with our peers in the company of other Chapter members and their families while traveling and enjoying ourselves in the motorcycle world. To raise public awareness and raise money for worth while charitable causes. To promote, assist, and show others the on-going campaign for motorcycle safety. |
