They should work among inter-agency to save cost. e.g. like contact SPF for any unclaimed bicycles that can be used.

[KARTer]

Did they call a tender to obtain the best value purchase? How many vendors' female marketing directors took part in the tender?

Yup Lots of branded unclaimed bicycle in Police custody.

[Cars08]

Deal concluded in Car park or Park?

[Tanlee]

it will be interesting to know their reasoning and their proposed usage.

 

in my opinion, a 1K+ folding bike is more than sufficient...

 

if for patrol reason, an 1K+ electric bike may be more practical!!!

I think the armchair in my office only 150 bucks max.

 

You are kidding about 1k uniform right! This is ridiculus! The 2k bikes are a little overkill I think also.
