Kern County Sheriff’s Office Policies and Procedures TITLE: BICYCLE PATROL UNIFORMS NO: K-415 APPROVED: Donny Youngblood, Sheriff-Coroner EFFECTIVE: REVIEWED: REVISED: UPDATED: July 15, 2009 2/16/2018 2/16/2018 POLICY It is recognized that the physical demands placed upon Bicycle Patrol Officers make wearing a standard patrol uniform impractical. The Bicycle Patrol uniform is designed so the officer is readily identifiable as a member of the Kern County Sheriff's Office while still being able to safely and effectively perform the functions of bicycle patrol. Detailed descriptions of italicized uniform items are found in K-300. The standard Bicycle Patrol Officer uniform shall consist of the following: • Shirt, Class D uniform • Trousers: Depending on weather conditions and at the individual deputy's discretion, either long pants or shorts may be worn in conjunction with the Bicycle Patrol uniform.
