Conor Dunne is reporting for duty! He’s stepping into the shoes (and onto the saddle) of a real-life bicycle police officer for a day. ๐๐ดโโ๏ธ From assisting stuck lorries to chasing down suspects and tackling bike theft, Conor dives headfirst into the action to find out how two wheels can help officers do their job more efficiently. Can a bike really make a difference in modern policing?

What did you think of Conor's day as a bicycle cop? ๐ดโโ๏ธ Let us know in the comments! ๐ฌ
7am in the morning…call the Department of Redundancy Department ๐๐๐
Good one ๐
Lovely piece Conor – shame you let it down at the end by claiming your disastrous taste in colour matching is to make your frame identifiable ๐
11:30 I also make sure my own bikes are identifiable, if not, I memorized the parts where there are scratches and paint chips
0:00 Nice that he got up at 7am in the morning to be a police-copper on his bicycle-bike
Has GCN done a video on the arguments for and against a 15mph limit on ebikes? It seems arbitrarily slow.
It's a shame the day was cut short, this was a really good addition to GCN's video library.
With fascism on the rise, this doesnโt have the marketing you think it has. Very disappointed that this is your ploy for clicks and watches. Not watching.
We need more of these style of policing…All the ne'er do wells are using the alleyways and parks to run drugs.
No, the motorist on the phone should have gotten 6 points and a fine.
I was grounded for ages, I used a bike. Rather than whine about my predicament I used to take a bike to execute warrants. It was mint.
Think itโs a bit dangerous going out with community police support officers who have no powers or equipment all criminals and letโs say street people are aware of this and will just walk away the PCSOs are not allowed hands on , itโs an offence to use your mobile phone in charge of a vehicle so because they have no powers it was just advice , itโs a thankless job
Thanks Conor for this look into the use of bikes in the law enforcement environment. We see Toronto Police on bikes on a regular basis and very intrigued by how they help in keeping our community safe. They go through some very intensive training to do this. Glad you guys put a light on this subject. Totally enjoyed it!
Not quite McDonald and Dods but very good anyway!
very interesting video! But the way Conor grups brakes needs a looking at haha, have to take a sneak a collab with GMBN in ๐
I was hoping this was going to be like the movie, Hot Fuzz. I'm thinking, why didnt you guys hope over wooden fences haha.
I think the market for stolen bikes in giraffe size is probably quite limited – not that that would stop an opportunist thief, but…
Might be aving a word with local police – Iโm sure a couple of e-bikes would be really well used around here
No weight and soundcheck?
