Who uses Trikke patrol vehicles? Six industries, one mission
From campuses to airports to retail and EMS, Trikkes help professionals cover more ground and stay visible.
It’s a question we get asked a lot: who’s actually riding these things? The answer is a wide range of professionals who all share the same problem: too much ground to cover, not enough personnel or visibility to cover it well. Over the past year, we’ve profiled four of the biggest groups putting Trikke patrol vehicles to work every day. Here’s a quick look at each one, with the full story linked below.
Colleges & Universities
From Yale to Georgia Tech to community colleges across the country, campus police and security teams use Trikke patrol vehicles to move through quads, hallways, and athletic venues, covering more ground with less energy while staying approachable to students and staff.
“With a Trikke, you’re just cruising right through the environment and covering a lot more area with a lot less energy.” — Captain James Smith Jr., Dallas College Police Department

Major Airports
Sprawling terminals, multilevel parking garages, and heavy foot traffic make airports one of the toughest patrol environments out there. Airports from Dallas/Fort Worth to Denver to Riyadh rely on Trikkes to keep officers visible and mobile across it all.
“The Trikke is a favorite among officers due to its ease of use and effectiveness in maintaining a strong officer presence in terminals and parking garages.” — Sergeant Michael Schreacke, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

Police & Sheriff Departments
From small municipalities to major metro agencies — and international deployments from Dubai to Ecuador — police and sheriff departments use Trikke patrol vehicles to expand coverage, increase visibility, and support officer readiness without adding staff.
“Riding the Trikkes has completely transformed our community interactions. I’ve talked to far more people on one of these than I ever did from a squad car.” — Officer Lacey Bunkelman, Fargo Police Department

Professional Security Teams
Corporate campuses, downtown improvement districts, convention centers, and private properties all deploy Trikkes to help security teams cover more territory and respond faster.
“The Trikke Defender has expanded our range of operation in addition to allowing us to mobilize more of our workforce to accomplish our mission.” — Albert Jackson, Atlanta Downtown Ambassador Force

Beyond the big four
Those are the four categories with dedicated deep dives, but they’re not the whole story. Trikke patrol vehicles are also at work at some of the largest retail properties in the country and with emergency medical response teams:
- Malls & retail. Simon Property Group has deployed more than 120 Trikke Positrons across roughly 80 of its shopping centers, while grocery chain H-E-B’s security partner Allied Universal has purchased more than 160 Trikkes and currently deploys them at more than 100 stores across Texas. Read about Simon Malls and the H-E-B/Allied Universal story.
- EMS. Emergency responders are also putting Trikkes to work, from Seattle’s Emergency Services Unit patrolling Waterfront Park to Denver Health paramedics navigating one of the country’s largest airports. Read about Seattle ESU and Denver Health Paramedics.
Wherever the environment — campus, terminal, downtown, mall, or medical emergency — the same need keeps coming up: cover more ground, respond faster, and stay visible while doing it. That’s the job Trikke patrol vehicles were built for.
