What do they need bike cops for? Chasing trains?
|
To get from one aprt of London to another in a hurry as the Vans do get bogged down in rush hour traffic. BTP are separate to the met and other forces and only work on the trains and tubesm very rarely getting involves with buses which the civils deal with, as with any officer is able to arrest outside of the transport system but dont have any specialist traffic units so cant really catch you speeding unless doing something ridiculus.
Deal with them a lot as I'm a senior manager at a train company and I know they're regarded as mickey mouse cops by the civils although most of them are quite good blokes (and girls)
