THUNDER BAY — City police have already put 600 kilometres on two electric bikes they're using to make the rounds in areas of the city that a patrol car can't easily access.
Ultimately, he said a patrol car or ambulance might need to be dispatched in some cases, but having an officer on a bike at the scene immediately can make an important difference.Lampi said the Neebing River is a good example of places where e-bike patrols can be extremely useful. Unless they've already been assigned to higher-priority calls, two officers usually take the e-bikes out regularly Tuesdays through Thursdays.
On other occasions, interactions with the public might just be a chat about a hockey game or something else of common interest, the kind of engagement that he said is always well-received.The bikes are equipped with police lights, and kits that include First Aid supplies and Narcan, a medication to reverse opioid overdoses.
