The Brownwood Police Department is implementing a new program to help with the amount of unclaimed bicycles that are placed into the impound each month, whether they are stolen or misplaced/found. Many people are unaware that they can call the police station after experiencing their bike being stolen, not only to report the crime, but also to see if their bicycle has been recovered.
The new program will allow area residents who own bicycles to register them with the Brownwood Police Department. Simply call the Brownwood Police Department at 325-646-2525 between the hours of 7:00am-3:00pm, be sure to ask for Elizabeth. Those interested will need to furnish a serial number, model of bicycle, brand and color. This database will allow police to compare serial numbers of bicycles as they are brought to the station and hopefully provide a more efficient way to return them to their proper owners.
