The Trail Patrol is a citizen bike patrol that rides the Rail Trails in Gainesville. Trail Patrol members will receive patrol training similar to the Citizens on Patrol training, which emphasizes observing and reporting (via cell phone) any unusual or suspicious activity. The training class will also include first aid, since the biggest problem on the trails are cyclists injured in crashes. The last hour and half of training class will be a ride along Gainesville's rail trails. Trail Patrol volunteers will be provided with cell phones and vests. Volunteers are asked the do two patrol shifts per month. Based on experiences of the trial patrol so far, most of the time you can enjoy riding the trail.
