Description
Cross-country for a safer NYC In 1992, the NYPD Bicycle Patrol was started with private donations. In many cases, officers even bought their own uniforms. Since then, the Bicycle Patrol has exceeded even its most ardent supporters ’ expectations. From Brooklyn to the Bronx, communities have applauded the increased police visibility made possible by the Bicycle Patrols. Residents, business people and tourists alike feel more secure and report a stronger rapport with the officers on patrol. From the beat officers ’ perspective, the Bicycle Patrol has improved their ability to respond to calls for service. And, its allows them to cover a wider area faster than on foot. Additionally, in traffic, bicycles can move more swiftly through congested areas like Manhattan. In fact, many Bicycle Patrol arrests are attributed to the element of surprise. Criminals are watching for cops in cars, not on bicycles. A small price to pay for safer streets By comparison, the costs of equipping and maintaining a bicycle are far less than those associated with a patrol. The Police Reserve Associations contributions have greatly assisted the NYC Police Department's Uniformed Bicycle Patrol to reach all communities within New York City. That's why “CYCLING FOR BLUE Coast to Coast ” has travelled across the country. “CYCLING FOR BLUE ” was cosponsored by the New York City Police Reserve Association (PRA), which is the authorized organization able to solicit and dispense funds on behalf of the New York City Police Department's Uniformed Bicycle Patrol Program. About The Ride The ride was held in June, 1997, when riders began a 3,500 mile trek from Portland Oregon to New York City. The riders consisted of corporate executives and students , and averaged about 100 miles per day. They were welcomed home by members of the New York City Police Department and other officials at the George Washington Bridge. The riders then were invited to Police Headquarters for a victory celebration.
