Three-wheel Defenders offer unique form of transportation for safety officers in the heart of the Birmingham’s Uptown Entertainment District.

The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) has taken a major step forward in improving security, and their efforts are making headlines. Recently featured in a local news story, the BJCC’s decision to deploy Trikke Defenders has been recognized as a game-changer in safety and efficiency.

Trikke patrol vehicles, known for their innovative design and zero-emission electric power, provide BJCC security personnel with a quick, quiet, and highly visible way to patrol the sprawling campus. The Defender is built for both indoor and outdoor environments, making it the perfect fit for the dynamic complex.

On their website, BJCC officials emphasized how the 48-volt, 3WD Defender with solid tires helps bridge the gap between foot and vehicle patrols. As BJCC’s Director of Public Safety Kenneth Scott noted, “Trikkes have a distinctive appearance that captures attention, breaks the ice, and allows security personnel to engage with the public. These interactions help to build relationships and contribute to a safer campus environment.”

The integration of Trikke patrollers is a strategic move to bolster public safety efforts at BJCC’s key venues, including Legacy Arena, Protective Stadium, and City Walk BHAM. With a high volume of visitors attending events, concerts, and conventions, security teams require reliable and efficient mobility solutions to ensure a safe environment.

BJCC Executive Director and CEO Tad Snider echoed this sentiment, stating, “Integrating the Trikkes will allow our public safety team to navigate the campus more effectively, increase visibility, and promote a heightened sense of safety, ultimately enhancing the experience for everyone.”

The addition of Trikke patrol vehicles underscores BJCC’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance security while remaining environmentally responsible. As a busy hub for events, conferences, and entertainment, the complex sees thousands of visitors daily, making safety a top priority.

Trikke Professional Mobility is proud to partner with forward-thinking organizations like BJCC to help transform security operations. Whether for convention centers, campuses, or shopping malls, Trikke patrol vehicles are redefining what’s possible for modern security teams.
