Established in 1999, the Bentonville Police Department's Bicycle Unit consists of eight officers whom operate, weather permitting, on all shifts during the months of March through October. The Bicycle Unit enforces bike and pedestrian violations, as well as monitors the City of Bentonville's parks and trail systems for crime and safety concerns. They conduct public presentations on bicycle safety and security issues. In addition, the unit participates in safety awareness rides held in the community.
