St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office now has bike registration online

Just in time for those new Christmas bicycles, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office now has free bike registration online to identify and re-claim a recovered one that had been misplaced or stolen, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

“This program makes it easy for someone to register new or old bicycles online with the Sheriff’s Office without having to physically bring them anywhere and it is free to residents of St. Bernard Parish,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.

“I wanted to start this,’’ the sheriff said, “because I wanted to help people, especially kids, who have lost or had their bicycle stolen, to be able to easily reclaim it if found by a sheriff’s deputy or turned in by a resident who finds it. I encourage bicycle owners to take advantage of the online program.’’

To start the process of registering your bike click here.

Please enter bicycle information accurately and upload your original receipt and a photo of your bicycle. All information will be stored on file with the Sheriff’s Office for future reference and identification in the event the bicycle is lost or stolen.

Please submit one form per bicycle. After completing the form, a copy of the registration and bicycle registration label will be mailed out for you to attach to your bicycle.

If the bicycle is being registered for a child who will be using it, you can submit the child’s name and Sheriff Pohlmann will send the registration label to them by name.

Upload a photo or scan of the bicycle receipt. If you do not have the original receipt the photo must provide one of the following for verification: owner of bicycle shown on the bike, registered vehicle and license plate in background or resident’s address in background shown in the picture.
