The West Point Military Police Bicycle Patrol was established in 1995. The Bicycle Patrol provides Law Enforcement from 1 May to 1 October, due to the seasonal changes. The bikes are equipped with bright lights and can be ridden at night without visual difficulty.
Officers generally ride with an assigned partner in groups of two.
Bike Patrols allow officers to patrol in housing and tourist areas. Routine Patrolling keeps the Bicycle Patrols busy, however the bike officers respond to radio calls, if they are within the area. The Bicycle Patrol attracts many citizens from both the tourist and the West Point Community. The Provost Marshal encourages Officers to take the time to promote a relationship with these groups. Each Officer selected to become part of the Bicycle Patrol is sent to a specialized training course.
