I was just surfing on the local police website and I spotted the link
for the mountain bike cop unit
(http://www.calgarypolice.ca/inside/smbike.html) and I started
thinking that job might be cool.

So, I was wondering if any mountain bike cops frequent the newsgroup?

It might be a cool way to do some good for both yourself and the
community.

A friend of mine around here was a mtb cop for a few years before he
got promoted to a desk. He really liked it, lots of friendly
interaction with people, outside all the time, lots of exercise in
frequent short spurts, anyway. Not a prestigious position, but who
cares? They patrolled our parks mostly and got to chase bad guys
(breaking up drug sales, deterring would-be muggers, etc.) pretty
frequently. They rode these ht GFishers loaded down with gear. Only
downside was staying warm in the winter.

But that's what donuts and coffee are for, right? cop food.
