The bikes do not have any blue lights as the bikes will also be used by
PCSOs. The bags on the back of the bike fold out to become panniers to fit
an A4 folder in. The uniform worn in the photo includes police cycle
helmet, protective glasses with 3 lenses (dark, orange, clear), hi-vis
jacket, gloves and black Regatta trousers. |
