Why Does A Department need a Police Bicycle Division?
An extension of the community policing effort, the bike patrols provide officers with greater opportunities to connect with residents and business people. Building stronger rapport and better communication between police and community members can help officers resolve concerns before they develop into problems.
Moreover, bikes offer police greater maneuverability and access to areas where cars can't go, a potential advantage in apprehension situations.
