KPD Bicycle Patrol

The Kenner Police Department's Bicycle Patrol Unit, which was established in November of 2006, serves to better the community by providing a positive, accessible presence throughout the city.  Officers who are part of the patrol have completed a 32-hour Police Cyclist Course through the International Police Mountain Bike Association.

There are many advantages for Kenner Police Department Officers patrolling on bikes versus those patrolling in cars or on foot.  For instance, they can utilize their senses better on a bike than in a car; hearing and smelling things they couldn't from a car.  The bikes also allow them to be more mobile, which enables them to cover larger areas than officers on foot.

The Officers' bicycles are equipped with lighting and audible systems and are considered emergency response vehicles.
