During the course of each year the police department takes in a number of bicycles in varying conditions. Those bicycles are turned in as found property to the department with no apparent owner. If the Department cannot determine an owner the property is kept for a year and then typically disposed of by auction. Currently, the Department is in possession of approximately 15 bicycles that are available for release. Our school resource officer has worked with Mountain View Elementary for a number of years on a bicycle rodeo event that occurs in the spring. In conjunction with that, the principal has requested donated bicycles. They are willing to take all the bicycles we currently have, determine what is usable, and put them to use.
