Cheswold Police Bike Patrol is Rolling
If you happen to see a couple officers riding by on bikes don’t be alarmed. With the help of State SALLE and Violent Crimes Grant the Cheswold Police Department has purchased two police bicycles and uniforms to begin the Cheswold Police Departments NEW Bike Patrol Unit.
Chief Workman and PFC Louis Simms took the bikes out on their inaugural patrol on Monday, July 7th.
“The visibility of an officer on a bicycle cannot be matched. With this visibility also comes an increase in human contact with the community. In fact, it is much like the old “Beat Officers” who used to walk the streets. They knew people by name and had a good feel for the neighborhoods at a personal level. On a bicycle, an officer is much more approachable than in a car and can help in building new contacts and trust from the citizens. This allows officers to be proactive in fighting crime rather than reactive. Bike Patrol Officers can be much more aware of concerns before they turn into problems.” – Policebike store.com
The addition of the Bike Patrol Unit also allows officers to patrol areas of the Town that are not readily accessible to officers while on patrol in vehicles.
You never know when we will be riding by, but we will be out and about…………..So when you see us out there on the road don’t be afraid to stop us and say hello or ask us any questions you may have. We are here for you, to protect and serve this community…the Town of Cheswold.

Rape first degree caused injury and Unlawful
Imprisonment First Degree.
The tip stated that OLGUENS VOLCY ( an alias of fugitive Olgven Voley) who has been wanted by the Cheswold Police Department was currently residing at an address in Irvington, NJ. Cheswold Police made contact with the US Marshalls office in New Jersey who were able to locate and arrest Mr. Voley, who is currently in custody and awaiting extradition to Delaware to be charged in this case.
On July 4th, 2009 Mr Voley allegedly took a female companion to his residence following a church service. While attempting to coax the victim to his room he allegedly forcibly pushed and pulled her up a flite of steps and into his room. This is where he allegedly forcibly raped the victim in his room. After interviewing the victim and a witness who also was in the residence officers secured a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Voley who fled the area following the incident and has been on the run since 2009.
Over the years investigators have been told that the suspect fled back to his native Haiti, and was also allegedly residing in Ft Lauderdale, Florida.
