Police say it takes more than cars to patrol a growing area.
Noblesville officers want to cover more than pavement. They say they need to have access to fields, water and the air if necessary. Officers have recently pushed for equipment like bicycles, horses and motorcycles to give them that access. The department already has some of those items. The military recently gave it two Hummers to use for drug investigations and to patrol rivers or secluded areas where people may grow marijuana.
