My Most Memorable Moment on Bike Duty:  A suspect on foot vs. me on the patrol bike in 2018. The suspect used sidewalks, alleys, stairs, and one-way streets to attempt to flee from Atlanta PD.

My Most Memorable Moment on Bike Duty: Stopping a vehicle from my bike.  I arrested the driver with felony charges, impounded his vehicle, and his dog went to animal welfare. Someone else did the transport and I went back in service… on my bike.  A citizen came up to me and said that was the coolest thing they had ever seen: a bike cop pulling over a car.
My Words of Wisdom to Other Public Safety Cyclists:  Remember that your bike is another tool in the tool bag.  Use it to your advantage, not your demise.
