Bicycle Registration
Bicycle registration is beneficial to the police department in identifying the owner of a stolen bicycle when the bicycle is recovered. The registration form includes a description of the bicycle, the serial number of the bicycle and the owner’s information. When the form is completed and turned in to the police department, a registration number is assigned to that bicycle and a decal with the number is issued to the owner to place on the bicycle. The information from the registration is entered into the PD Database. When a bicycle is recovered, the serial number is checked in the database to see if the bicycle has been reported as stolen.
