As part of our efforts to provide a high level of community service, the San Diego Community College District Police Department created a bicycle patrol team in 1998.  At the time of its inception, the bicycle patrol team consisted of three police officers and two college service officers. 

The Bicycle Patrol Team is highly visible, highly mobile, and committed to fostering positive relationships with the visitors, staff, faculty and student population of our campuses, as well as the surrounding communities that they serve.  Bicycle Patrol Team Officers provide a level of service which cannot be matched by police officers on foot or in marked police cars. 

To join the Bicycle Patrol Team, every Officer must complete a week long training session where they receive specialized instruction. From riding up and down stairways to cone courses and emergency dismounts, officers who complete the session are capable of a vast array of maneuvers on a mountain bike.

Our Bicycle Patrol Team has a strong working relationship with the San Diego Police Department. The team patrols neighborhoods surrounding our campuses. The team also participates periodically in joint operations to combat gang activity and crime affecting the  communities in the city of San Diego.
