The Ultimate Police Cyclist School by Kathy Vonk One of many opportunities offered at the 2001 Conference to improve your effectiveness in the field. The curriculum, designed and delivered by police officers and bike medics, is nationally and internationally respected. Bike officers can travel faster and farther than foot officers, and they are able to patrol areas unreachable by car. Bicycles are a great public relations tool - an officer on a bike is much more approachable than one in a patrol car. Officer morale is improved.
Departments benefit from decreased health care costs.
