Any Mountain Bike COPs out there?
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. Zeke |

Zeke I don't know any personally, but see them all the time here in Los Angeles. It would be a pretty cool job. http://www.ipmba.org/newsletter-0211-lapd.htm -- Slacker |

Get paid to ride, faster response times than Ward Cars durring crowded events downtown, silent, and you are up close and personal with the public. Yeah it's a pretty good deal if you can score a bid to bike patrol ;-) |

Zeke 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. CDB |

Zeke It burns donuts faster than sitting in a patrol car. JD |

Zeke I rode with a guy once who use to be a forest ranger. His job was to ride his mtb and patrol the park. He'd also kick out illegal mtbrs when the park was closed. I think this was somewhere in California. I ocassional rode with a roadie who was a regular cop. I asked him once what happens when he hassled by cars while riding his bike. These idiots obiviously don't know he's a cop. He said he just memorizes their license number. Later he'll put on his uniform go to the idiot's house and say "Do you remember me? I'm the guy on the bike you try to run off the road". Too bad he wasn't around when I get hassled. Being a cop is cool. |

I have these dudes in my incorporated village but no where near any
trails. These guys pedal around town wearing black lycra shorts and bright yellow jackets with "SCPD" on them. They all ride the same model TREK, wear black helmets and dark shades. They are mostly there to keep the public peace and to write traffic tickets, but I did actually see one pull someone over in a car for not having a seatbelt on. I was almost tempted to ride one of my rigs on the sidewalk and see if one of them would chase me out of the village. Peace.
