We have afew LA County police officers around the hospital with bikes. Front suspension hardtail mountain bikes. Of course, their job isn't to chase down law breaking roadies really...

However having the bikes do allow them go anywhere an officer on foot can go with alot more speed. It's also heps greatly with public relations since they're not seen as sitting in their car watching and waiting for someone to make a mistake but rather out and about among us "regular people" which makes them alot more accessible and approachable.
