The Seaford Police Department had two mountain bikes refurbished that are being used by officers to patrol. The department's goal is to use four bikes to patrol areas where their cars cannot usually fit into to crack down on more crimes. The new bikes are also utilized at festivals to educate Seaford's local youth on proper bicycle use.
“When the officers are riding these bikes, they can get into places that a car can’t always get into. And if we needed to get somewhere fast, it’s a lot quicker than being on foot. So this will definitely help in the reduction of other crimes going on in the city,” said Master Corporal Eric Chambers, pictured left.
