bike patrols

Pedaling police units

Bike patrols are police units that patrol on bicycles rather than in cars.

Officers on bike patrol can navigate congested urban areas, parks, and pedestrian zones more easily than vehicles allow, and they're often more approachable than cops in cruisers: The downtown bike patrol responded within minutes.

Campus security and private security firms also use bike patrols.
