IDI Bike and Walking Patrols

The IDI Bike and Walking Patrol began in May 1995 to augment IPD's presence on Downtown streets and sidewalks. Staffed by more than 50 off-duty IPD, IUPUI, State Capitol Police, Indianapolis Housing Police, Marion County Sheriff's Department, and other Marion County law enforcement agencies, the patrol provides a customer-friendly and visible police presence that enhances consumer confidence in public safety. The officers deter crime and act as Downtown ambassadors by providing assistance to visitors.

In 2006, IDI officers:

  • logged 7,184 patrol hours
  • made 9,094 patrols of garages and lots
  • made 4,128 security partner contacts
  • made 16,879 visitor contacts
  • assisted IMPD with 493 police runs and 22 arrests
