BSC Police on Bikes

Overview

Intended to supplement the Department's cruiser and foot patrols, the Bike Patrol serves a role in the Department's law enforcement mission and as a positive tool in the Department's philosophy of community policing. The bike patrol unit has been in existence since 1997.

Training and Equipment

Bike Patrol Officers attend an intense three-day police mountain bike course known as COBWEB. The course teaches how a police officer should ride a bike, including keeping safe in traffic, dismounting and managing obstacles. This year the BSC Police Department was fortunate to host a COBWEB course pictures.

BSC Police bike officers are equipped with their full duty belts, including their two-way radios. They wear a modified uniform designed for comfort and visibility.

The police bikes are equipped with headlights, a first aid kit, and paperwork related to the rider's sector assignment.
