American Legion Post 147 donates e-bikes to Jasper Police Department

American Legion Post 147 made a recent donation of two new electric bikes to the Jasper Police Department.

The new bikes will replace two of the four patrol bikes that have been with the department since 1996. The bikes will be utilized by the six Jasper Police Department bike patrol officers during the upcoming Strassenfest and other community events throughout the year.

Officers plan to conduct more patrols along the Riverwalk, The Parklands, and other areas that are inaccessible by patrol cars using the new bikes.

The police department thanked the American Legion Post for its support.
