Bike thefts are serious, but many, many owners don’t even know their serial number to report the theft and reclaim their bike, even for a $2000 bike. Police will set up an online site to register bikes, and put in owner name and serial number. Once the bike owner registers, he/she gets an Ingleside sticker. If someone notices the bike with the sticker, they can stop the rider, check their name, and check the database to confirm ownership and return the bike. Can also stick GPS on the bike to track it.

Biking in the Ingleside Police Community

Traffic enforcement:

If there are hot spots that you think the police should pay close attention to, you can tell them directly at the Ingleside Police Station website / Contact Us.

Ops are two parts:

1 – pedestrian safety (incidents result in many pedestrians being hurt)

2 – look for pedestrians coming out into the middle of the street without looking. The captain wants to improve safety by looking for all violators – not just one type.

Bike v. vehicle: Will also do an operation to stop drivers in bike lanes, etc. Then will do the same to stop cyclists from running red lights and stop signs.  Bicyclists running stop lights or signs are subject to same tickets that autos get for doing that.
