1) 88%
2) 86%
3) 90%
4) 82%

Answer 1

The percentage of local police departments in the United States that do not use bicycle patrols is 88%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of local police departments in the United States that do not use bicycle patrols can be calculated by subtracting the percentage that do use bicycle patrols from 100%. In this case, since 12% of local police departments use bicycle patrols, the percentage that do not use bicycle patrols would be 100% - 12% = 88%.
