Bicycle officers need to ride whenever and wherever they are needed.
Proper training is essential to an officer's on-the-job performance and safety.
It is also critical in reducing liability. The PC course provides bicycle
officers with the skills they need to effectively serve their communities.
The course is divided into eleven units: Bike Handling & Vehicular Cycling,
Bike Fit, Group Riding, Hazard Recognition & Common Crashes, Obstacle
Clearing & Riding Techniques, Patrol Procedures, Nighttime Patrol, Community
Policing, Basic Maintenance, Legal Issues & Traffic Laws, and Fitness
& Nutrition. This demanding class involves over 20 hours of on-bike time
to develop and improve riding skills.
Course Length: minimum 32 hours
Testing Procedure: written & on-bike
Requirements: Applicants must be police officers currently assigned
to bike patrol, officers applying to become members of a bike unit, or members
of a department considering use of the bicycle.
Certification: IPMBA Certification is available to sworn police officers
who successfully complete the practical test, earn a score of 76% or better
on the written test, become members of IPMBA, and submit applications for
certification accompanied by the appropriate fee. |
