Because of their high visibility, members of the Bike Squad play a significant role in fostering and maintaining positive relationships between the police, town residents and local business owners. Officers on bicycles are easily approachable, and highly mobile. Not limited by the constraints of paved roads or traffic, they have the capacity to arrive quickly at a troublesome situation or the scene of a crime in progress.
Bike Squad officers are also involved in teaching bike safety in the community, and hold "safety rodeos" at local schools to show children the ins and outs of responsible biking.
