DEKALB COUNTY, IN - Police in DeKalb County have officers in place for a new bike patrol program.
DeKalb County Sheriff Deputies Zachary Kerley and Reed Hansen have recently graduated from the Basic Mountain Bike Officer Course through the Fort Wayne Police Department.
Kerley and Hansen will launch the new DeKalb County Mountain Bike patrol. The Mountain Bike Patrol's primary duties will be for special events such as Pickle Festival, ACD Festival, DeKalb County Fair, and other special events throughout the county. Their assignments will overlap with road patrol but their primary function will be to the events they are assigned.
The patrol bicycles are electric motor assisted. Fully equipped with emergency lights, sirens, and first aid kits. They are very fast, very quiet, and very agile.
The St. Joe River Greenway Trail was an area that has not been patrolled in the past. As trails become more a focus in DeKalb County and the State, bike patrol officers will have the ability to respond to these areas immediately.
