I presume you're referring to the "Total Control" class. I took it in Maryland last summer. Good class, but when the day was over, I felt I had paid way to much for what I got from it. And Lee Parks was not at my class as an instructor.
Most of the stuff covered in the class is the same as what is in his book "Total Control". Of course, the class includes hands on drills. The biggest thing I got out of the class was body positioning in turns, i.e. getting out of the saddle and shifting my weight into the turns so that my body is leaning but the motor is remaining more upright so you keep more rubber on the road.
I'm a firefighter, not a motor officer or LEO, so I have not had the privilege of going through a police motor school (although I would love the opportunity). However, I've spent a lot of time doing the drills from the "Ride Like a Pro" training series. The drills in Ride Like a Pro were a lot more challenging (i.e. riding inside a 14-foot diameter circle in RLAP vs. riding OUTSIDE a 24-foot diameter circle in "Total Control"). If you've been through police motor school, I don't imagine that you would gain much from this class. If it were a $50 class, sure, worth the time and money. But I don't think you get $350 worth of information/training/skills from the class, especially if you've read his book or have been through police motor school.
My $0.02 worth.
Stay safe,
Brian
