Bicycle officers need to ride whenever and wherever they are needed.

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.
