The Clarksburg Police Department will soon roll out a new bicycle patrol system that officials hope will cut down on crime in the city.
The Exponent Telegram reports Clarksburg Police Chief Robbie Hilliard says he believes the system will be up and running by the beginning of June.
Hilliard says bike patrols have been proven to work effectively in reducing crime in the cities, adding that the patrols will also increase police presence in Clarksburg.
