## Resource

Mount Pleasant Township police are deploying two electric bikes to patrol the Panhandle and Montour trails, dramatically speeding up response times and boosting officer visibility—no more fumbling with keys or gates to reach remote spots. Powered by community funds from a golf outing, the bikes come equipped with sirens, decals, and first aid kits, turning trail safety into a visible, proactive mission. Regular trail users like Dee Super say the presence alone deters troublemakers and enhances peace of mind. Officers can ride during shifts with three or more on duty, or deploy them on-demand via patrol car racks, making this a smart, flexible upgrade for outdoor safety.
