Airport Division - Law Enforcement Services - Bicycle Unit

Four deputies of the Bicycle Unit standing beneath the Sacramento International Airport sign at night.Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department patrols all areas of the airport property. Use of bicycles allows us to patrol or quickly respond to emergencies where access by a patrol car is limited.

The Sheriff’s Department has used bicycles in many assignments and the airport has maintained a large bicycle patrol unit for 10 years. With today's concerns about fuel prices and budgets, bicycles provide a cost effective and clean way to increase patrols and safety of the airport.
