In addition to these routine services, this Division provides police support at all major on-campus events such as Commencement, Homecoming, and other student sponsored activities and athletic events. The Department's desire is to promote enjoyable, safe activities for all users of the University services, especially for our students. An innovative part of the Patrol Operations Division is the Bike Patrol Unit. This is a specially formed unit, composed of police officers who utilize specially equipped mountain bikes to patrol the University campus. The use of mountain bikes for patrol duty is quiet, cost efficient, and amazingly effective.
Mountain bikes are able to bridge the gap between automobiles and foot patrol.
