🚴‍♀️🌎 Happy World Bicycle Day! 🌎🚴‍♂️
Today we celebrate the bicycle as a healthy, affordable, and environmentally friendly way to travel, exercise, and enjoy our communities. As more riders choose e-bikes, it's important to understand the laws and ride safely.
⚠️ KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: E-BIKES vs. E-MOTORCYCLES ⚠️
✅ E-Bikes:
• Must have functional pedals
• Motor must be 750 watts or less
• Top assisted speed of 28 mph or less
• Follow bicycle laws
• No license, registration, or insurance required
❌ E-Motorcycles:
• Do not have pedals
• Typically have motors ranging from 2,000–6,000 watts
• Can exceed 45 mph
• Follow motorcycle laws
• License, registration, and insurance are required
Indiana recognizes three classes of e-bikes:
🔹 Class 1: Pedal-assist only, up to 20 mph
🔹 Class 2: Throttle or pedal-assist, up to 20 mph
🔹 Class 3: Pedal-assist only, up to 28 mph
Additional Indiana E-Bike Laws:
• Riders under age 15 may not operate a Class 3 e-bike
• Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes may generally be used anywhere traditional bicycles are allowed
• Class 3 e-bikes are permitted on roads and bike lanes but may be restricted from certain paths and trails
• E-bikes must display a permanent label identifying their class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage
• Modified e-bikes must be relabeled to reflect any changes
🚲 Bike Safety Reminders:
✔️ Wear a properly fitted helmet
✔️ Follow traffic signs and signals
✔️ Use lights and reflectors when riding at night
✔️ Stay alert and avoid distractions
✔️ Make yourself visible to motorists with bright or reflective clothing
✔️ Share the road responsibly with pedestrians and vehicles
Whether you're riding a traditional bike or an e-bike, know the laws, ride safely, and enjoy the freedom of two wheels.

Congratulations to K9 Officer James Colina and his partner, K9 Jack, on recently completing an intensive 6-week K9 Patrol School.

Throughout the program, the team developed critical skills necessary for patrol operations, with training focused on four key areas:

Obedience
Tracking
Criminal Apprehension
Article/Evidence Searches

The Danville Police Department, along with several partner law enforcement agencies, provided instructors, time, and resources to host this training locally in Hendricks County. This collaborative effort ensures high-quality training while reducing the need for out-of-state travel and associated lodging expenses.

The department also extends its appreciation to organizations like the Hendricks County Health Partnership, whose grant support helped make this training possible and contributed to developing a certified K9 instructor within our agency.

The Danville Police Department Investigations Division is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a male subject and vehicle alleged to be involved in a vandalism investigation.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED!

The incident occurred on May 12, 2026, at approximately 5:30 PM at the Danville Walmart. The subject is described as a white, middle-aged male with very short dark hair, nearly balding, a heavy build, and a graying goatee and mustache. He has visible tattoos on the tops of both forearms.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED!

The vehicle involved is described as a white midsize pickup truck, consistent with a Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon body style, likely from the early to mid-2000s model years. It appears to be an extended cab configuration with a short bed and has a small manufacturer badge on the lower left portion, consistent with Chevrolet badging. A rear license plate is present and mounted in the center of the rear bumper; however, the plate characters are not legible due to image resolution and glare.

You may speak directly with Detective by calling 317-745-4180, extension 6110. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling the Danville Police Department Crime Tip Line at 317-745-3001.
