BICYCLE REGISTRATION
Bicycle theft is a familiar
property crime in the City of Torrance. Absent a police report, it is often
difficult to identify a bicycle as stolen for the purpose of returning it to its
rightful owner. In an effort to provide more resources to victims of bicycle
theft, the Torrance Police Department is reaching out to community members to
share information about their bike on our website or in
person.
In Person Option: The resident can
bring his or her bike into the station and will be directed to the Traffic
office. A Department member, in the Traffic Division, will take down the
required information and then place a registration sticker on the underside of
the lower frame (keeping it discreet in hopes that it will not be removed). The
bike information will then be entered into our database and will be used to
reunite the owners with their bicycles when they are recovered.
