In the USA, bike patrol has been in practice since the late 1980’s. The development of advanced police bike officer training, police bike patrol tactics, and police bike equipment has become a leading country worldwide. As such, bicycle patrols, taken as a ‘specialized unit’ in police departments of American states, are a very good and effective police option. In order to run such patrols, it requires different training, facilities, duties, and sanctioned budget. Two relevant organizations in America provide quality instruction and information on bicycle patrols. They are the Mountain Bike Association of the International Police (IPMBA) and the Law Enforcement Bike Association (LEBA). The IPMBA model is more general and more well-known (Shah, 2003).
