BICYCLE PATROL

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) uses sidewalk-level police presence through bicycle patrols. These special operations units offer high-visibility and proactive community policing presence that is budget-friendly for any size department.

Bicycles can fulfill several roles in a wider range of environments than patrol cars or SUVs, and can be used in many of the same environments as foot beats with faster response times.

These units can be a float in a parade, monitor the crowd along the route, be used in rural and urban search and rescue, provide security inside dense pedestrian centres, patrol inside buildings – whether a mall or apartment complex and provide highly effective crowd control mechanisms at demonstrations.
