Bicycle Patrol
In 1996, the Noblesville Police Department assembled its first Bicycle Patrol Unit. The purpose behind this unit was to create an alternative to the conventional form of police patrol which has always been by vehicle. Our agency, as well as other participating bicycle units from around the country, quickly realized the advantages to having a Bicycle Patrol Unit. Most notably, these patrols allowed officers a much greater opportunity to be accessible to the public. Early on, just as is still the case today, most citizens are not accustomed to seeing their local police officers on bicycles. Officers who are assigned to patrol on the bicycles respond to call for service just like any other police officer does. The only difference is that they are on bicycles instead of in police cars. Generally speaking, bicycle patrols are used to supplement regularly assigned motor patrols so that response times are not impeded.
