<br />B <br /> <br />lKE PATROL <br /> <br />Officer JOn Krueger <br /> <br />During 2007 the Centennial Lakes Police Department was able to re-establish our <br />Bike Patrol Division and it served as an excellent Community Policing tool. The <br />prograrn was launched in June with officers and staff receiving some hands-on <br />training. In July, we commenced with mainly nighttime bike patrolling in community <br />parks and neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Officers logged over fifty hours on the bikes and made thirty-five police contacts <br />while on bike patrol. There were also three arrests made for curfew violations, three <br />underage drinking violations and numerous warnings issued for after-hour park <br />violations. Our department currently has two patrol bikes in its fleet. Officers, <br />Community Service Officers and Reserve Officers are trained for bike patrol. <br /> <br />In 2008, Centennial Lakes Police Department plans to use bike patrol more often and <br />also throughout different times of the day and night. <br /> <br />15 <br />
