The bicycle and motorcycle patrols were established in the Bel Air Police Department to allow for community policing that provides closer contact with the public allowing direct contacts for problem identification and problem solving. This includes business and residential contacts that provide the community with interaction with the Police Department to develop a network with the public for proactive operation by the department.
The Current Motorcycle operated by the Bel Air Police Department is a 2006 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Police Package.
