There are two distinct approaches to bike patrol duties and how you dress for duty depends on which philosophy your agency follows. Some city agencies favor a low-key uniform in traditional dark blues or black with little or no safety ornamentation, which makes them very effective in fighting certain types of crimes like car theft /jacking or drug dealing in the neighborhoods.  Others prefer a community policing and preventive presence for their bike officers patrolling public parks and waterways where people recreate and exercise, and those bike patrol officers wear brighter ANSI-certified hi-vis polos or reflective accented uniforms. The good news is both styles of uniforms are available for bike patrol!
