Police Mountain Bike Patrol

Police Mountain Bike Patrol History Police Mountain Bike Patrols in the United States-The utilization of mountain bikes by law enforcement agencies has become more commonplace today than ever before. Local, state, and even federal agencies all utilize mountain bikes to so-me degree in their efforts to provide better service to the populations they serve.The birth of the modern utilization of mountain bikes by a law enforcement agency began in 1987 with the Seattle Police Department starting a bicycle patrol unit. The Seattle Police Department began their patrol in their downtown area due to traffic congestion, which caused a poor response time on the part of police officers. The bike patrol was an immediate success for the police in regards to the response time problem as well as presenting a positive image of officers to the public. Today, there are over 2,000 mountain bike patrol units across the country.The Utilization of Mountain Bikes by the Lafayette Police Department- Currently, the Lafayette City Police Department only utilizes mountain bikes during Festival Acadiens, Festival International, and during certain undercover operations conducted by the street level ACTION (Attacking Crime Through Involvement Of Neighborhoods) unit.Seattle Police Department
