ESSEX POLICE SAY: “ON YOUR BIKE”

Essex Police have this week returned to a traditional form of policing by launching 'Operation Velo' which will see Officers patrolling on bicycles in the Epping Forest district.

Superintendent Keith Dobson said: “Officers will be able patrol and access places where police cars cannot necessarily get to whilst providing an increased police visible presence in our neighbourhoods. Bike patrols will enable officers to be more accessible to local residents and assist in reducing crime and anti-social behaviour as well as our carbon footprint. Operation Velo allows our officers and the public to talk to each other more easily.”
