Police Showcase Their New E-Bikes During ‘Ride The Lights’

Blackpool’s ‘Ride The Lights’ event, which was covered by live videos on Lytham St. Anne’s News, saw the debut of the Blackpool Constabulary’s brand-new shiny E-Bikes.

The E-Bikes, funded by Active Blackpool, have been introduced to help reduce anti-social behaviour and increase visibility within communities. They also make a step towards reducing the Constabulary’s carbon footprint, whilst keeping officers fit and healthy.

Blackpool Council and the Community Safety Partnership have also provided funding for related equipment such as lighting, bike racks, locks and helmets.

Superintendent Chris Hardy, Blackpool & Fylde Operations Manager, said, ‘The brand-new E-Bikes are a welcome initiative into modern policing. We are looking forward to using them in future deployments.

The E-Bikes are effective, efficient, allow us to travel further and increase visibility – which are all vital within our roles protecting communities. They are also a positive start towards ‘going greener’ and making the right changes in our efforts to use renewable energy.

We are hugely grateful to Active Blackpool, Blackpool Council and the Community Safety Partnership who have funded this initiative. We were able to introduce them at the ‘Ride The Lights’ event, which was a huge success.’
