Members of the bike patrol are certified through the Illinois Police Mountain Bike Association. Each officer completed a 32 hour class consisting of emergency maneuvers, police bike tactics, bike pursuit and general bicycle operations.
These bicycles are used throughout the community in events such as the Catfish Days festival, on patrol, and other community events.
