The Bellefonte Police have announced that they have put a police motorcycle into service on 5/18/09. The motorcycle is a 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650cc.

The motorcycle will be used as an everyday patrol/emercency response vehicle. There will be, initially, 3 officers assigned to the motorcycle. Chief Weaver anticipates this unit to be a success and foresees more officers riding the motorcycle in future years. This is not a new concept in PA, however this will mark the first time in Bellefonte’s history that a motorcycle will be patrolling the Borough’s streets.
