The University Police
Department at SUNY Cortland has a six officer bike
squad. The bike patrol operates nine months out of
the year and is capable of riding in all weather
conditions. All of the officers are certified Police
Cyclists through the New York State Division of
Criminal Justice Services (BMP) and /or the
International Police Mountain Bike Association. The
bike patrol has proven to be an enhancement to the
department. The bike officers are able to respond
quicker to many calls and to arrive unnoticed at
times, allowing the officer to apprehend a suspect
or to protect the safety of others. Combined with
the foot and vehicle patrols the bike officer
contributes greatly to the community-policing
mission. If you have a question or need assistance
please feel free to stop and ask any of our bike
officers. |
