Free Bicycle Registration Program
 The
City of Rahway requires that
all bicycles
be registered with the police department and display a registration sticker,
in accordance with City Ordinance Chapter 147-3. The Rahway Police
Department Community Relations Office offers a
free bicycle
registration
program to all residents of the City of Rahway. This public service program
is part of our crime prevention program, which is specifically aimed at
reducing bicycle thefts and increasing the rate of recovery of stolen
bicycles. Every year our police department recovers numerous bicycles that
cannot be matched to owners simply because most people do no record the
necessary identifying information for their valuable bicycles. The Rahway
Police Department Community Relations Office has an information database that
records these important serial numbers so that it is readily accessible to
police in case your bicycle is lost or stolen.
The
process is very simple and only takes minutes to complete. Simply bring
your bicycle to the Rahway Police Department and one of our officers will
examine the bicycle, record the necessary information on a pre-printed
registration form, and supply you with a bicycle registration tag to place
on your bicycle. This sticker identifies your bicycle as being properly
registered with the Rahway Police Department. It also contains a serial
number that is unique to that specific bicycle. Each bicycle registered will
receive a separate license tag. The license tag number is then recorded in
a database, so that in case of theft, we will be able to retrieve the make,
model, serial numbers, and ownership information that are necessary to enter
the bicycle stolen. You must bring the bicycle to police
headquarters. All bicycles will be inspected by a police officer before a
license is issued to ensure that it is in compliance with the required city
code safety standards. Bicycles with missing or defaced serial numbers will
not be issued a license.
