The Fort Worth Police Bike Patrol

The unit started out with nine officers and bicycles. Some of the original bicycles were purchased new and some were appropriated through the auto pound. The uniform consisted of the regular police polyester uniform shirt, which was extremely hot and uncomfortable in the summer, a pair of BDU shorts, and black athletic shoes. Today's unit has grown to include 20 officers and bicycles, and a unique bike-specific uniform more suited to the duties involved and more conducive to the Texas heat. Most of the bicycles in use today where purchased new.
