Buompensiero Re: Patrol Bicycle Class Lt., there is a patrol bicycle class being offered at BCTC during the week of 9-13-10 to 9-16-10. I am requesting that new SET Team Deputies Barr and Isaacs be allowed to attend this class. I looked at the CTC schedule and found two additional bicycle patrol classes being offered. One class is in December 2010 and the second is in April of 2011. I would like both of them bike trained prior to the 2010 holiday theft suppression program that starts at the end of November.
