8. Fort Drum Directorate of Emergency Services Bicycle Patrol
Written by First Lieutenant Rebecca K. Hsia, 91st Military Police Battalion
Twenty Soldiers from the 91st Military Police Battalion recently completed training for this season’s
Directorate of Emergency Services, Law Enforcement Division, Bicycle Patrol and Community Po-
licing mission. This mission not only reduces crime and increases public safety, it also has a further
undertaking of promoting positive ties between the Fort Drum community and it’s Law Enforcement.
Sergeant Christopher Stockton and Sergeant Brandon Hawkins, both assigned to the 511th Military
Police Company will lead their Soldiers in patrol activities within the Fort Drum residential areas.
Through events such as Bike Rodeo, and other community policing activities, they will inform the
public on safety, enforce Fort Drum traffic regulations in housing areas, and provide an active police
presence and point of contact for our community.
Soldiers from the 23rd Military Police Company and the 511th Military Police Company underwent a
strenuous two week training program. The first week focused on strength and conditioning, culminat-
ing with a rigorous 20 mile bike ride. The second week focused on learning how to maneuver, care
and maintain the bicycle as well as incorporated live fire weapons qualification with the bicycle. The
Soldiers also conducted Radar training which they will use to enforce traffic laws.
The live fire weapons qualification incorporated elements from their bike patrol training as well as
their law enforcement skills. The exercise involved a scenario in which Soldiers first operated in two
man teams, rode a difficult half mile course, dragged a 180 pound dummy through a course, and then
utilized there assigned weapons to engage targets on a range. The Soldiers then rode another quarter
mile course culminating in another weapons engagement.
The training was led by a guest instructor from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) on loan to
the Directorate of Emergency Services and the 91st Military Police Battalion. CPB Agent Mike
O'Connor is a bike patrol trainer for U.S. Border Patrol and travelled to Fort Drum to conduct the
training at the request of Lieutenant Dave Shannon, the Law Enforcement Divisions Training officer.
Mr. O'Connor has spent seven years patrolling the southern U.S. border and is currently on his eighth
year patrolling the northern U.S. border.
Military Police Soldiers assigned to 91st Military Police Battalion and Department of Army Civilian
Police Officers assigned to the Directorate of Emergency Services, Law Enforcement Division are
the primary source of manpower utilized to conduct Law Enforcement on Fort Drum.
