If you are in a 30mph zone, you have to stick to that. If you are on a motorway you can drive up to 70mph. In exceptional circumstances, police officers can exceed speed limits, but not as a matter of course. Some police officers do carry guns, but not all. Officers have to undergo special training before they are allowed to carry guns.
Every police officer has their own shoulder number.
It makes it easier for people to ring up and check their identity if they didn t get their name. The law says you shouldn t ride your bicycle on the footpath. If you are going to be put in danger by cycling along a busy road, an exception may be made. But you must take care never to put someone walking along the footpath at risk. Historically, police men and women have always worn different hats.
