As you know, we resurrected the bike patrol this summer from its original inception from 1991 at which point, a young patrolman named Rich Edelman was the bike-patrol officer. We budgeted $10,000 this past year for the bike patrol. I think we spent a little less than $8,000 out of that $10,000. Most of that was for training and new uniforms. I didn't want to buy new bikes this year because it was a startup program and new bikes would have taken up most of that $10,000. I didn't want to use up all that money on something we were not sure was going to get off the ground. We used 20 year old bikes that Chief Stevens purchased a number of years ago
