Which of the following patrol types is characterized by the use of bicycles?

The correct choice is characterized by the specific use of bicycles as the primary mode of transportation during patrols. This type of patrol allows officers to navigate areas that may be difficult to access by vehicle while providing a greater range of motion and visibility than foot patrols. Bicycle patrols are particularly effective in urban environments or parks where officers can cover more ground and remain visible to the public. This method enhances community engagement and allows for quicker response times compared to foot patrols due to the mobility bicycles provide.

Other patrol types, while effective in their own contexts, do not utilize bicycles in their operations. For example, foot patrols rely solely on officers walking, waterborne patrols involve marine units, and law enforcement patrols can incorporate various forms of patrol but do not specifically focus on bicycles.
