The Cleveland Police Department has added dirt bikes to its fleet to combat unlicensed riders on city streets.

WEWS-TV reports the department now has its own dirt-bike unit with three multipurpose off-road bikes.

The unit will be able to issue citations to dirt-bike riders who do not have proper licenses or have improper equipment.

The department is planning on adding three more dirt bikes to its unit next year.
