Waynesville Police Department

Shane Wiseman, Sergeant

Rob Kopp

Rickey Couch

Sergeant Wiseman, Officer Kopp and Officer Couch attended the International Police Mountain Bike Association's Bicycle Officer Training Certification.

This training is an intensive, week long endeavour with many miles ridden on a bicycle. Along with the riding, there is instruction on how to handle subjects while on a bicycle and how to protect yourself while patrolling on the bicycle.

The bicycle officers are utlized during events, such as the Sauerkraut Festival, to get from one area to the other quickly. They will also patrol various neighborhoods as they can get around sometimes easier than with a car.
