Thames Valley Police Launch New Snow Patrol Unit.

[Von Smallhausen]

Since Britain is gripped by snow and ice, Thames Valley Police have launched a unit that does not need cars that are effectively useless in the bad weather.

The Real Snow Patrol

Well done and this should deflect the they all abuse human rights / all are thugs brigade for a while.

 

[Bunka]

Hahaha, looks awesome!!

Although to be fair, they shouldn't really be doing that while on duty, save it for when they've clocked off.

 

[wordy]

The snow had "a habit of bringing out the child in all of us".

He's got a point, I haven't had so much fun outside since the last time it snowed

 

[TaKeN]

Haha legends, I don't see a problem with it, they were only having a laugh

 

[Cosimo]

Haha. The new toboggan patrol, that’ll help with the crime figures.

 

[L0rdMike]

Haha legends, I don't see a problem with it, they were only having a laugh

This.

 

[Davepen]

lol
Imagine if you were in that field having abit of a "smoke", saw the riot van pull up, crapped yourself, then saw that! lol

 

[DampCat]

Haha, awesome. I would have done the same.

 

[Pookie Bear]

Hell, everyone needs a little bit of a laugh while they're at work, to keep things sane. Why should the police be any different

 

[Andelusion]

LOL

I have spoken to the officers concerned and reminded them in no uncertain terms that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea

Awesome

I like the little scream the guy does as he sets off!

 

[Gamer_T]

They were just having a laugh. I don't really see any harm in this at all. They're only human afterall!

 

[Luke]

Was expecting a Snow Patrol pun based on traffic police and resulting in Chasing Cars.

 

[Glaucus]

Although to be fair, they shouldn't really be doing that while on duty, save it for when they've clocked off.

Come on who doesn't have a mess around when quite periods hit. Fantastic. Glad they only "had a talking to" I can just imagine that one behind closed doors. Hi-5s all round whilst giggling don't do that again.

 

[Kol]

I found it hilarious. Shame this is newsworthy. Who doesn't have a laugh during work? It's not clear by they were in the area, they could have just been waiting around for something and had a few moments free.

 

[Fegruson]

Good to see that they aren't so serious all the time And like the article states, a bit of a change from what you normally read about.

 

[arknor]

oh noes police officers winning over some members of the community they serve by showing they are only human.

 

[Gerard]

He got some bloody distance on that shield.

 

[spicypixel]

I can only imagine that the full size riot shields could have been amazing.

 

[Cyanide]

Just wait until the next batch of snow when police forces are using riot shields to get to stranded members of the public. I bet some high up jobsworth takes credit for thinking of it.

Can't see too much problem with it... maybe a bit silly doing it on the clock but maybe they were practicing rescue procedures?

 

[Dano]

Awesome
