Kansas City bicycle police receive donation

Wednesday, November 10, 2004

According to a Kansas City Star story, KCMO police officers now have two new bicycles to use:

The North Patrol Division of the Kansas City Police Department recently received a much-needed gift from the communities they serve — two new bicycles for the bike patrol officers. . . .

Maj. John Armilio started the bike patrol this summer, but the two officers assigned full-time to ride the streets of neighborhoods such as Crestview and Ravenwood were using 10-year-old bikes. Now they have the latest equipment and the older bikes are being put out to pasture.

“The bike patrol was going to be a pilot program to see the effectiveness of it and I was impressed by what they could do, Armilio said.
