Ashland Police Division

Bicycle Patrol Program

  The Ashland Police Division Bicycle patrol was started in 2000.  This program has placed Officers on Mountain bikes in the community on regular patrol duty. 

The Division currently has six officers trained and outfitted.  They serve on all shifts and in all areas of the City. 

Public opinion of Officers on bikes is positive.  The high visibility of the patrol and the accessibility to the Officers benefit the community because it fosters a sense of safety and mutual trust between the police and the public. 

The Officers also participate in a variety of Community activities such as: 

	Two day bike safety class at Trinity Lutheran Church
	Six different 5k runs throughout the community
	Block parties
	Bike rodeo at Balloonfest
	Parades
	Law Enforcement torch run
