BICYCLE UNIT

The BAPD Bicycle Patrol Program exists for the purpose of training, equipping, and deploying Broken Arrow Police Officers in a highly effective and versatile manner to address our community’s law enforcement needs. These needs may take the form of criminal interdiction, crime deterrence through visible presence, enhancing community-police relations, education, and/or a host of other specialized missions.

The bicycle patrol unit works a variety of functions where officers must have a smaller footprint than a patrol vehicle but remain mobile and highly visible.

 

Bicycle officers must be:

• Highly motivated

• Physically fit

• Willing to ride in all weather conditions

• community oriented

• creative problem solvers

• Tactically sound

• Able to work on a dynamic platform

 

Currently the Bicycle patrol unit consists of 18 officers and 3 reserve officers. They patrol for special events, parades, high crime areas, sporting events and recreational areas.
