Springtime will shortly be upon us and with it will be an increase in bicycle usage. With increased bicycle usage inevitably comes an increase in bicycle theft. In an attempt to deter theft members of the 76th Precinct always patrol with a watchful eye for individuals that are known to steal bicycles. It is often apparent to us that some individuals are in possession of bicycles that were stolen. In those instances, we closely review reports in an attempt to identify the owner. Despite our best efforts, we are often unable to determine the rightful owner. Help us reduce bicycle theft and give us a chance to get your bicycle back to you if it is stolen, by registering your bicycle with us. Stop in the 76th Precinct and ask for the Crime Prevention Officer who will register it for you. You can call the 76th Precinct Crime Prevention Office at (718) 834-3203 and schedule an appointment to have it done. We always have a Crime Prevention Table at the local street fairs and the officers there will be happy to register your bike.
