The Tempe Police Department Bike Squad consists of
approximately 12 Officers and 2 Sergeants responsible for the downtown Tempe area, Rio Salado
Parkway and Tempe Town Lake. The Officers and
Sergeants chosen for this specialty squad
receive in-service training on bike tactics, riding
skills, and issues specific to the downtown area such as
traffic management and crowd control.
The Bike Squad functions as a regular patrol unit and
reacts to any on-view criminal activity as well as any
calls for service. The Bike Squad also conducts
classes to educate businesses and restaurants regarding
Arizona State Liquor Laws and crime prevention issues.
The Bike Squad also utilizes additional patrol resources
such as marine units for Tempe Town Lake and All-Terrain
vehicles for park areas and trails.
