The Segway PT on patrol
The Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) is an ideal policing partner, whether you’re patrolling city streets, airport concourses or parks and trails. Raised an additional eight inches off the ground, it places an officer a clear head above the crowd. That means that officers will be seen when they need their presence felt. Segway PT riders have superior sight lines for traffic management, crowd control, and community policing. (Contact us to see how the Segway PT works for security applications, ) Be Productive and Save Money An individual on a Segway PT can cover an area more than nine times larger than on foot patrol because he or she can travel 3-4 times walking speed. In this example, two officers
more thoroughly cover the area typically assigned to nine officers on foot. Consider the value in officers responding to emergencies quicker - and with energy to spare. With our current leasing rates starting from €4.75 per day and the lowest starting industry hourly rate (JLC data) of €9.27 per hour – a 30 minute saving per day covers the cost of the Segway. Move the units into senior staff usage and the savings can be considerable. Time is spent dealing with issues and not lost in walking from A to B “Can you afford not to Glide” Become more approachable
The Segway PT is the ultimate icebreaker. Its presence facilitates conversation and encourages effective community policing. Officers are more approachable on a Segway PT than when they are in sitting in a cruiser or riding a bike. "I have been in and around law enforcement since 1975. Bar none [Segway PT's] are the greatest community policing tool I've ever seen." - NIJ Study -TECHbeat winter 2006 Faster Response Times
The Segway PT can move an officer, smoothly and quietly, at 2-3 times walking speed. It can easily double the amount of area a walking officer can cover, and can transition immediately from walking speed (3 mph) to sprinting speed (12.5 mph) when an officer needs to get somewhere fast without causing alarm. A reliable, durable tool
All Segway PTs are put through their paces at the factory in millions of cycles of fatigue testing and thousands of test rides to ensure the highest quality and durability – that’s a standard you expect for the serious work you do. Police Case Studies
