The Swansea Police Department developed its first ever Bike Patrol Unit in October 2015. Officers are required to complete initial bike familiarization and safety training. The purpose of the Bike Patrol Unit is to provide maximum and visible police protection to the community.
With a community-oriented approach, the Bike Patrol Unit allows officers to access and provide service and security to members of the community by patrolling the Metro Bike Trail, Mel Price Park, Schranz Park, and neighborhoods.
