Welcome to the West Whiteland Township Police Department's web site on the Police Bicycle Patrol Unit. Our unit was formed as a division of patrol in June 1997 and consists of several volunteers who are highly motivated to serve this community. With the growing demand for more effective policing, Bicycle Patrols quickly establish a much-needed partnership with the community in its entirety.

    Officers on bicycles are very approachable. Both children and adults from all walks of life welcome this concept with open arms. Bike Officers are now able to engage in more informal relationships with all community members. Although Community Oriented Policing ( C.O.P.) is not a new concept, Bicycle Patrols are indeed a positive, proactive and efficient approach to the needs of the community. In addition to crime prevention, there are many other special community events that bike patrols are best suited for. For example, there are surveillance details, holiday events, parades and 'Bike Rodeos' that help promote safe riding.

     If you have questions about bicycle safety or would like to register your bicycle's serial number with the police department, please email Bicycle Unit Coordinator Matt Deceder at MDECEDER@WESTWHITELAND.ORG.

     Cycle Safe & Always Wear A Helmet!!
