Bicycles have unique serial numbers that allow for police to enter stolen bicycles onto the stolen property database.
Patch Pic of the Day
The Decatur Police Department registered 79 bicycles at its Second Annual Decatur F. Ave Falcons' Bike Derby on Oct. 5th. The purpose of registering your bicycle is in the event it is lost, found or stolen.
Bicycles have unique serial numbers that allow for police to enter stolen bicycles onto the stolen property database. If the bicycle is later recovered, it can then be returned to its owner. Bike registration also helps reunite abandoned bicycles with their owners.
If you are a city resident and wish to have your bicycle(s) registered with the Decatur Police Department, please contact Sgt. Dana Canipe at 678.553.6614 or dana.canipe@decaturga.com. If you do not wish to formally register your bicycle(s) with the police department, please document the make, model and serial numbers for your bicycles in the event it is lost or stolen.
