After reading the article entitled "On you get - we're off to the nick" (The Argus, May 3) regarding Eastbourne police, who are considering issuing tandem bikes to some of their officers so they may transport miscreants to Eastbourne police station, most of us at work were helpless with laughter. We couldn't believe it.
We have a couple of suggestions for Chief Inspector Peter Mills.
1. Be sure to fit the proposed tandem cycles with mirrors to check the villain who is being transported to the nick hasn't hopped off and done a runner.
2. Issue your cycling officers with rickshaws. An officer could take two offenders to the cop shop at a time. Much more efficient.
