Bike Theft and Policing Considerations
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- rolph 4y agoi used to live where there was a bike patrol. these were plainclothes on bicycles, pedaling a street beat, looking for petty crime, bike theft being a major item in that basket. it was ineffective, bike theft actually increased. it became effective after addressing an operational detail. they were patrolling on 30$ pawn shop junkers and wearing 300$ + clothing. it was suggested that they try to look more like the surroundings. go to bargain basement and buy 3$ worth of clothing, go get a 1000$ + bike. then you wont be instantly made as plainclothes.
