Johns Creek police are going old school. The department is planning to use two officers mounted on bicycles to patrol parks, shopping centers and various neighborhoods.
The program, called Police and Community Together or PACT, heightens the profile of the department and makes the police – and the city – more accessible to residents and business owners, said police spokeswoman Rosemary Taylor. That builds trust, she said.
Bikes give police more mobility in some circumstances by allowing them to go places cars can’t go, such as park trails, she said.
The pedaling police should be on the road sometimes this fall.
