Police, Security, and Traffic Enforcement

Police, security, and traffic enforcement fleets require a wide range of vehicles, from high-performance police cruisers to personal mobility vehicles. Because they accumulate high mileage and running time and are often centrally fueled, they are well suited to alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies. Vehicles with these technologies help reduce pollution in the communities they serve, and their high visibility promotes clean transportation alternatives.

Law enforcement vehicles are often custom ordered and can be ordered as alternative fuel and advanced technology models. Neighborhood electric vehicles, personal mobility vehicles, and electric bicycles are small and easy to maneuver, making them well suited for applications such as campus and building patrol and traffic and parking enforcement.
