A mate of mine who is a copper in the Met police has recently been given
a police bike with flashing lights and a siren. I am interested to find
out the exact spec of these things but have no idea where to look. any
help please?

Smith and Wesson sell a bike under their name to the Police (in the US

ISTR coppers in Southampton using Giant MTBs -- I've only ever seen them
once, though, so perhaps it was just an experiment.
