Sunshine Coast RCMP is proud to announce its support and endorsement of Project 529, a powerful community-driven solution aimed at reducing bike theft and improving recovery rates for stolen bicycles.

What is Project 529?

Project 529 is a bicycle registration and recovery platform designed to empower cyclists and communities. By registering your bike on the 529 Garage app, you create a digital profile that includes details such as serial numbers, photos, and unique identifiers. In the unfortunate event of a theft, this information can be quickly shared with the police and other 529 users, significantly increasing the chances of recovery.

How Project 529 Benefits the Community and Police:

For Community Members:

- Provides a secure, centralized way to register your bike for free.
- Facilitates rapid reporting of stolen bikes.
- Increases the likelihood of recovery with community and law enforcement collaboration.

For Police:

- Streamlines the process of matching stolen bikes to their rightful owners.
- Enhances community trust and cooperation.
- Saves time and resources, allowing officers to focus on other priorities.

We're excited to adopt this innovative tool, said S/Sgt. Jennifer Prunty. By working together with our community and leveraging Project 529, we can deter bike theft and ensure a safer, more bike-friendly environment on the Sunshine Coast.
