service to our community. Goals are the basis for a
smooth and focused operation of an organization. We
continue to evaluate and update our goals as they relate
to the citizens of the community and the level of
service that we provide to them.
Honesty
- To live honorably, creditably, and virtuously make up
the three precepts to a “Justinian” or just life. It can

teamwork. We fully embrace the building of partnership
within our community and among ourselves. We understand
that working to together as a team the quality of life

Bicycle safety wherever you are riding – on busy
streets, county roads, or bike paths – is a matter of
common sense. Under New York State law bicyclists are
vehicle operators who are entitled to share the roads
with motorists. Cyclists must also obey the same rules
of the road as motorists. Safe bicycling means being
predictable, being visible, riding defensively, and
using proper equipment, especially a helmet and lights.
It is important to have a bicycle registered with the
Police Dept. in case it is lost or stolen. Registration
is free. You must bring your bicycle to the Police Dept.
Any Police Office on duty will assist in getting your
bicycle registered.
Parents are encouraged to teach their children proper
bicycle safety and rules. Lights and reflectors are
required on all bicycles that operated after the hour of
darkness. Helmets can help to prevent head injuries and
all operators are encouraged to wear an approved helmet.
Many parents have a child seat attached to their
bicycle. It is especially important that children riding
in a child seat have an approved helmet to help reduce
injury in case the bike tips over or is involved in an
accident.
The Salamanca Police Department is dedicated in its
desire to promote safe and fun bicycling. Officers will
be watching motorists and cyclists to ensure a safe
environment for both.
You may contact the Salamanca Police Department at
716-945-2330 if you have any questions concerning
bicycle safety.
