HELP CURB BICYCLE THEFT BY
REGISTERING YOUR BICYCLE

Wilton Manors Residents:

Bicycle Theft is a crime that unfortunately occurs here in your city. We would appreciate your assistance in reducing bicycle theft in our community by registering your bicycle at the Wilton Manors Police Department. Your identifiable bicycle information will be documented and a registration decal will be attached to your bicycle. If your bicycle gets stolen, the information is readily available and your bicycle can be immediately entered into a nationwide law enforcement computer property tracking system. Your Police Officers will look for these decals on bicycles they observe in the city. If an officer sees the registration decal, he/she can easily verify who the bicycle belongs to and/or if the person riding it should be in possession of the bicycle. If your bicycle is registered and it does get stolen, the percentage of it being recovered is greater than if it is not registered. So come to the Police Department between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily to register your bicycle. The process normally takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Please bring any ownership documents such as a bill of sale, invoice or manufacture's booklet, if you have them, to assist us in identifying the model number of your bicycle and unique serial number. So please, take the time to register your bicycle and lessen your changes of becoming a victim of crime.

Thank you.

Richard E. Perez
Chief of Police
