Earned last week, the Covington Police Department participated in a bicycle certification training course taught by Officer Scott Verdun of the Kenner Police Department, which was hosted by the SLU Police Department.
Sergeant Kevin Collins, Officer Joshua Craddock, and Officer Justin Purcell completed the training and are newly certified bike patrol officers.
The Covington Police Department now has six certified bicycle patrol officers. You will begin to see the bike patrol in your neighborhoods, giving more of an officer presence in our community.
