Unit Leader: Sergeant  Kapurch

BIKE PATROL UNIT 

The bike unit consists of three mountain bikes purchased by the college, two in May 2000 and one in January 2001.

The bike unit officers are selected on a voluntary basis. The bikes can be seen in use from Spring to Fall semesters when it is safe to ride and when staffing allows for it.

Feel free to stop an officer for any reason. The purpose of the program is to make officers more accessible and to utilize them more effectively when patrolling our campus.
