A training program brings 32 of the nation's officers to the city. One task: security at the Golden Globe Awards.

Sacre bleu! Even by Los Angeles standards — where dignitaries' motorcades barely attract attention — Monday's police escort down Pacific Coast Highway was a traffic-stopper.
Lights flashing and motors roaring, 15 Los Angeles-area motorcycle officers were escorting 32 French motorcycle cops to lunch.
The French officers are in the area for a 10-day training program with police, sheriff's deputies and the California Highway Patrol that will include security work at next week's Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills.
"This project has a very symbolic dimension," said Philippe Larrieu, France's consul general in Los Angeles. "We're all in the fight against international crime and terrorism."
...
In Agoura Hills, motorcycle officers from the Sheriff's Department, the Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills police departments mingled with their French colleagues, comparing notes about equipment before forming the motorcade to Malibu.
"Is this electronic shift?" Los Angeles Officer Mitchell Nowlen asked Paris motorcycle officer Arnaud Krause as he climbed aboard Krause's Yamaha motorcycle.
