Rounded Rectangle: Licenses and Certificates Bike Licenses

Bike licenses are available at the police station at 2525 Circle Drive. They cost $1 and are renewed each August 31st.

This allows the police department to keep a record of the serial number and description of your bike in case it is stolen or lost. When bikes are recovered we check the serial number against our bikes reported stolen and in most cases we are able to notify the owner that they have been recovered.

There are many bikes that are lost or stolen and never claimed each year. Therefore, we have an auction when the number of bikes exceeds the storage space. If you are looking for a bike at a very reasonable price, come to the Police Bike Auction.
