The bike patrol pilot program is in response to safety concerns around major hospitals. Teams of protective services bike officers started patrolling around the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon in June and Regina General in July. The program is slated to run until Oct. and the bike patrol officers are only riding during the daytime. Bikes can squeeze through tight areas that vehicles cannot, and they allow officers to respond more quickly than if they were on foot and the program is going "very well," based on the feedback so far.
