Bicycle officers need to ride whenever and wherever they are needed.

officers with the skills they need to effectively serve their communities.
The course is divided into eleven units: Bike Handling & Vehicular Cycling,
Bike Fit, Group Riding, Hazard Recognition & Common Crashes, Obstacle
Clearing & Riding Techniques, Patrol Procedures, Nighttime Patrol, Community
Policing, Basic Maintenance, Legal Issues & Traffic Laws, and Fitness
& Nutrition. This demanding class involves over 20 hours of on-bike time
to develop and improve riding skills.
