Positron electric patrol vehicles boost officer mobility, visibility, and community engagement across the island.
The Cataño Police Department in Puerto Rico has officially joined the Trikke patrol movement, deploying the all-electric Positron to enhance local patrol operations. Located just across the bay from San Juan, the small but active coastal city of Cataño faces unique patrol challenges—from crowded waterfront areas to narrow streets—making agility and officer visibility essential.
Training for the department’s new Positron fleet was led by Albert Rivera, Certified Patrol Trainer and Sales Executive for Trikke Professional Mobility, who has spent more than a decade helping police agencies across Puerto Rico and Latin America integrate electric patrol mobility into their operations.
“Trikke has successfully established a strong presence in Puerto Rico with law enforcement and public-safety operations across the island,” Rivera said. “The Positron has proven to be reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly, helping police departments and security agencies improve mobility while reducing fuel costs and emissions.”
Already deployed in over a dozen municipalities and security agencies—including major departments such as San Juan, Isabela, and Humacao—the Positron has become a familiar sight across the island. Each new deployment adds to what Rivera calls “a wave of modernization” in community policing.
“Over the past 10 years, we’ve partnered with several municipalities and government agencies to integrate electric Trikkes into their patrol and community programs,” he said. “The feedback from officers and local officials is been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the rapid response and surveillance detail only the Positron can provide.”
The first impressions in Cataño have been strong. Just days after their initial deployment, the department request a quote for three additional units—a clear sign of satisfaction and early success.
That kind of response isn’t unusual. Across the U.S. and the Caribbean, Trikke customers frequently come back for more, with a remarkable rate of re-orders from departments that see the results firsthand.
When agencies reinvest, it’s proof that the product performs in the field: reducing officer fatigue, expanding coverage, and improving community interaction—all while cutting operating costs.
“I am very proud to be part of the Trikke team since 2009,” Rivera added, “and to have the privilege of training law enforcement agencies in the Positron’s operation. Seeing the positive impact these vehicles bring to officers and communities makes every deployment meaningful.”
With departments like Cataño leading the way, Puerto Rico continues to stand out as one of Trikke’s strongest territories for law enforcement adoption. From coastal towns to international airports, agencies across the island are proving what’s possible when mobility meets innovation.
