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

to develop and improve riding skills.
