Started in the spring of 1997, the Norwich Police Department bicycle patrol
has become a familiar and welcome sight. The Norwich Police have seven officers
who have been trained in the skills needed to safely and effectively patrol
on bicycles. 
The
bike patrol focuses in areas not normally accessible by patrol car, such as
any of the numerous parks in Norwich. The officers on bicycle also educate other
cyclists on various safe riding practices. As a crime fighting tool the bicycle
patrol has stopped several crimes in progress, including burglary and larcenies.
The bicycle patrol uses three Raleigh "police " model bicycles and normally
operates from April until the end of November.
