Much like the hard stops carried out up here.

We normally do the rolling closure behind such stops to create a margin of safety.

Hey trojan it was interesting to see how he was very quick to ask for "Motorway" officers, see you all need us really when you come to play on our bit of road!

That's not a Hard Stop! That's a girly ARV Stop. A Hard Stop is smashing all the windows, shooting out the tyres and maybe lobbing a few flash/bangs about, before beating the suspects into submission. And of course he asked for Motorway Officers. Someones got to direct traffic while real police do their thing.

And I think of how many times I have responded to a "armed suspect" call solo.

My department has a "Humber-Peg." As I understand, it was used in Northern Ireland a few years back. When it came, it was completely refurbished and repainted with the department logo.
