The Lakewood Police Department is encouraging residents to register their non-motorized bicycles through the department’s LakewoodPDConnect app.

The free registration allows residents to place their bicycle information on file with the department, which can help police identify and return bicycles that are lost, stolen or recovered.

Residents can download the LakewoodPDConnect app through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and follow the instructions to register their bicycles.

Additional information is available through the Lakewood Police Department at LPDNJ.com.
