Noblesville Police Department recently announced its enhanced Bike Patrol. NPD’s bicycle patrol began in 1996 with six officers. Today, the department has new specialized bicycles and equipment for its team of 15 officers. Bicycles will be accessible on police vehicles to allow the officers to travel along trails, alleys and in subdivisions. Their presence also will be seen at special events throughout the city.
