Bike Patrol Room

By sarge on 2/26/2007 on sarge's blog
Our department is so dedicated the mountain bike patrol program, we were given our own room now. It holds our (6) patrol bikes, bike repair stand, bike lockers behind the door for helmets, coats, training equipment, and a tool bench with all needed bike tools, grease, lube, etc. The department paid my way to United Bicycle Institute so I can now repair the fleet of bikes. It is amazing when I look at were we are now, compared to when we started about 4 years ago. I started with my own personal bike. The more the community saw that the bike officers were out, the more they wanted. Fast forward to today, we are adding (2) bike officers and (2), brand new Trek Police Bikes. We have the entire month of May booked to be involved with parades, bike safety fairs, extra patrol targeted areas, and elementary school functions. In April, Corporal Fulmer, aka: Corporal Punishment, and I are going to the International Police Mountain Bike Association yearly conference in Baton Rouge LA, thanks to Steve Outing for a few extra stickers that I plan on handing out at the conference to advertise YOURMTB.COM. There will be Mountain Bike Patrol Officers from all over the world there. I will come back with full details. |
Mountain Bike Training
|
By sarge on 1/2/2007  Sarge teaching a Law Enforcement Bicycle Association class at the range. Officers had to complete 1 mile, all out sprint on the surrounding trails with obstacles, ending up on the range to fire their duty sidearm. Bike officers have to get 100% on the target to pass this section of the range course. It is way harder than it seems. Going anaerobic and trying to keep your mind and body in focus is a challenge. |
