| Public Safety Bike Training |
|
Public Safety officers took part in bike patrol training on
April 25, conducted by Officer Jim Bottillo of Troy’s Community
Policing program. The training included several drills requiring the
participants to demonstrate command of the bike, including a 32-mile
ride testing the participants’ skills shifting the bike, handling
tough inclines and declines, and overall physical conditioning. “Bike
Patrol is a very positive and effective means of patrol and allows for
more interaction with students, faculty, and staff, said Lieutenant
Joseph Audino. “Officers are required to respond to calls, take
reports, and patrol all areas of the campus while on Bike Patrol, as
if they were assigned a patrol car. The expectation is to perform crime-deterring
patrols, be accessible to our community to increase awareness and communication,
and to respond to calls for service.” |
