The uniform consists of a uniform shirt which has mesh sides sown in to allow for breathability. The police bike shorts and pants have cargo pockets and belt loops that allow for the attachment of the officer's utility belt. The most important piece of equipment that the officer uses is the police bike helmet. Officer Dave Raddatz was involved in a serious accident in 1997 while riding on bike patrol. Officer Dave suffered back injuries, but was spared head injuries due in large part to wearing a bike helmet.
Officers can also wear protective eyewear, bike gloves, and mountain bike shoes.
