Metropolitan Police + British Transport Police - Special Escort Group + Incident Response Unit

One of The rarer videos being this blue BTP response unit on an emergency call around parliament square at the time as quite a large SEG escort was making its way through the square on the evening of the olympic opening ceremony, This video was taken with a Cannon 550D

i see... however, there are siren speakers installed on that motorbike, just pouse the vi at 0:18 or 0:19 and look to the side of that bike. But I guess thats police bike not SEG bike, right?

[Fbo]

Bit of a strange question: but when they whistle, are those electronic types? Because they always sound the same pitch and I am not sure if there is space in those helmets for a whistle?!

[mikeo]

Yes, it looks like the Russian Delegation's motorcade.

[Timi]

I just dont understand why officers use whistles instead of airhorns on their bikes.

Wahey its the escort for Justin Beiber to goto court for crimes against humanity... His music

[mortgagewizard]

nice video, , 2 for the price of one, looks like the royal party, , , , under escort

[Timi]

you are right, those white bikes are probably SEG bikes - they don't have any speakers installed on the side

[Timi]

well yes, but airhorns are naturally installed on police motorcycles with the siren... Except if they are some kind of special "no siren" police bikes

[lightningpete]

and the most pointless comment of the century goes

[HarryHazz]

SEG Bikes do not have sirens fitted, hence why they use Whistles. Whistles are also used because it reduces the level of noise that precedes an escort and reduces the environmental impact on the escorted person and general public.

it's in the sky, it's how many fucks I give.

[CybaRJ]

White VFR. Obviously didn't take off then.

[HarryHazz]

The SEG bikes are the ones that are in the older white livery. The others are Traffic Bikes I believe.

Awesome double catch! That BTP vehicle is rare!

[giovanniramirez]

Anyone else was waiting for one of those cars to blow up and a 30 minute firefight to happen? No? I guess I'm just watching too many movies :P

[BlueLightVideos]

Love it, you couldn't decide what to follow, lol!

[ThePeter]

And even they know that our german cars are awesome ;)

[Gudymenko]

The S-class Merc had Russian plates (Moscow)
