A local union donates bike to the Allentown PD ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A local union is telling Allentown Police to hit the road, with some new wheels!
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 375, donated three brand-new bikes to Allentown cops today. The bikes were presented at a ceremony this morning at city council chambers.
Officials said each bike is fully outfitted for police officers, and worth about $1,500.
The Allentown Police Department currently has about forty officers certified to patrol on bikes. "
Having these extra bikes will put extra guys out on patrol in the streets hitting areas that typically aren't hit by officers in a patrol car," said Officer Scott Magill of the Allentown Police Department. Allentown Police said the bikes will hit the road immediately.
