I’ve seen your tiny teeny police car from Athens and I’ve seen your tiny winny police car from Brussels. I raise you: the Segway police from Sweden

  1. Tre kronor ✔️
    Polis ✔️
    Fire extinguisher ✔️

    Jap, swedish 🥳👍

  2. That is… a lot of gear on that seg.

    Please tell me it also has flashing blue lights somewhere in all that?

  3. I’ve seen these scooting around in Gamla Stan from time to time. Looks hilarious!

  4. I wonder which news outlet will be the first to cover this meme.

    I suppose it’s at least a bit more work than just scraping a single thread.

  5. While this is functional and Swedish police are well-trained and I respect them

    Imagine going to police academy and thinking you will bust some criminals, have a gun, be a badass protector of society and then they give you a fanny pack and a segway XD.

    I would honestly be a bit mad XD.

  6. The fire extinguisher is in case it catches fire if you take a turn a little too fast, right?

  7. The best part is when they rock up on the Segway they start speaking sweedish which is such a fun sounding language

    It’s all hermanyermangurgen love it

  8. This is only for chasing criminals that are not 100% gentlemen

  9. Going by the SAABs in the background I gather this is a museum?

  10. I’ve seen police in Spain use just normal segways without all these modifications while patrolling tourist areas along beaches

  11. Polis? This is Glaswegian for Police. Are you sure this isn’t Scottish rather than Swedish?

  12. I think it’s a fantastic idea, would be happy if my tax-euros went to this. They’re the perfect way to patrol gloriously pedestrianised European city-centers right? Can travel three times faster/further and carry three times the emergency stuff than a cop on foot, while still being able to go almost anywhere a cop on foot can.

    u/anselan2017 mentioned bicycles and obviously I love bicycles but I think these things definitely have multiple advantages over a cop on a bike.

  13. I love that they have a fire extinguisher on there. Very neat!

  14. The way things are going with police transport getting smaller and smaller they’ll be back plodding the streets on foot in no time …

  15. If they use that it’s a joke.
    They are not stopping crimes anyway, so why not try something stupid 🙂
