Our Services - Bicycle Patrol
The year 2000 saw the launch of a new bicycle patrol program, which was coordinated by the Smiths Falls Police Service
and the Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers Board. Crime Stoppers purchased two fully equipped Smith and Wesson
police bicycles which are on loan to the Smiths Falls Police Service.
The new police patrol bicycles have become an valuable tool for the members of the Smiths Falls Police Service. The bicycles essentially offer many of the same advantages of both foot patrol and mobile patrol without any of the accompanying disadvantages. Bicycle patrol officers are still very accessible to the public, and can maneuver into areas that are un-passable by patrol car. Moreover, bicycle patrols are more efficient that foot patrol, allowing police officers to be proactive, but also enabling them to rapidly respond to calls for service. Look for the members of the Smiths Falls Police cruising in style though the streets and parks of our town!
