Much to often, the bicycle owner never takes the time to jot down the serial number of the bike, and sometimes cannot remember the brand name as well. This makes it nearly impossible for the Police Department to match a recovered bicycle with an owner. Also, even if the owner has good intentions and makes a note of the serial number and other information, this list is often misplaced. For these reasons we recommend you take the time to come to our department and register your bike, and any bikes in your family. This will insure that if the worst happens and your bicycle is stolen, our department will have all the information necessary to give us the best chance to recover your bike.
Registration is easy.
Simply make a note at home of the serial number of the bike, the brand name, the model name if applicable, and the color. If you cannot locate the serial number, and can get the bike to the Department, someone here will be glad to assist you. There they will fill out an information card for our permanent records. You will also be given a sticker to place on your bike, which matches up your bike to the information we keep on file. If this sticker should be lost, however, it is not necessary for the recovery of your bike.
