bike patrol

Pedaling police unit

Bike patrol is a form of law enforcement or security in which officers ride bicycles rather than drive cars.

Common in parks, downtown areas, and college campuses, bike patrol allows mobility through spaces inaccessible to vehicles while maintaining closer contact with the public: Campus police switched to bike patrol during orientation week.
