motorcycle cop

Two-wheeled officer

A motorcycle cop is a police officer who patrols on a motorcycle rather than in a squad car.

These officers typically handle traffic enforcement, escort duties, and situations requiring mobility through congested areas: A motorcycle cop pulled me over for speeding.

The term is informal but standard.
