Don't forget to come see Lt. Young and I today for free bicycle, scooter, and e-bike registrations. There is no cost for the registration and it could potentially be the difference in aiding in the recovery of your lost or stolen bicycle etc.

We will be at the rear of the police department until 3:00 pm.

The Village of Forest Police Department will be hosting a bicycle registration event on Saturday, September 5th, 2026 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the rear of the police department. This event will allow residents to register their bicycles, scooters, or e-bikes with the police department to assist in recovering the item should it be stolen or returning it should it be found unattended or abandoned.

There is no cost for the registration. Each bicycle, scooter, or e-bike must be present at the time of the registration so that it can be assigned a specific tag number that will correspond with the owner's information.

Tags may also be acquired after September 5th, 2026 by making an appointment with the police department Monday through Friday.

Just a reminder, motorized scooters are not permitted to be operated on roadways with the village and all persons riding bicycles or e-bikes must follow all traffic laws.

We hope to see you there!
