Somerton, AZ cops enhance patrols with Trikke Positrons

by | Apr 9, 2025 | POSITRON

Yet another force adds electric patrollers for faster response, community connection, and greater efficiency.

The Somerton Police Department in Arizona is taking community policing to the next level with the introduction of three-wheeled patrol vehicles from Trikke Professional Mobility. Featured in a recent KYMA News segment, SPD is now using the Trikke Positron to increase visibility, reduce costs, and foster engagement.

“They’re battery operated, so obviously that’s going to save on fuel and maintenance,” said Captain Joe Jenkins in the video. “They can travel upwards of 40 miles per hour and last probably the entire shift, so the efficiency is what we’re looking at.

Beyond performance, SPD has already seen strong community engagement. “We had kids going by when the officers were doing training and were asking what they were and if they could ride them,” Jenkins added.

Each Positron comes equipped with emergency lights, gear storage, and smooth handling for sidewalks, streets, and parks—providing high-visibility patrol with zero emissions and fast response.

Video showcases real-world advantages of the Trikke Positron

by | Mar 11, 2025 | POSITRON

See how our best patroller strengthens security across diverse patrol environments.

Police departments and private security companies across the U.S. are integrating the Trikke Positron, a fully electric personal patrol vehicle designed for quiet, smooth, and efficient operation—all at a cost of just pennies per hour.

Unlike recreational electric vehicles, the Positron is built for law enforcement. Officers are using it to patrol courthouses, sprawling justice campuses, and dense urban areas where traditional police cruisers may not be practical. The Positron is also proving valuable for special operations, where law enforcement agencies assess high-crime areas and strategically deploy patrol resources.

With a top speed of 37 mph, the Trikke Positron is an effective alternative to standard patrol vehicles, particularly in airports, stadiums, schools, and neighborhoods. Its ability to navigate streets and sidewalks with ease allows officers to move efficiently through crowded environments while maintaining high visibility and access—a key advantage over squad cars, bicycles, or foot patrols.

Not only does the Positron improve response times, but it also enhances community policing efforts. Officers on Trikke patrol vehicles are more approachable, allowing them to engage with the public while covering more ground.

The Trikke Positron is quickly becoming the personal electric vehicle of choice for law enforcement agencies looking to modernize their patrol operations.

Personal Electric Mobility for Enhanced Policing and Community Trust

Personal Electric Mobility for Enhanced Policing and Community Trust

by | Dec 5, 2024 | POSITRON

Mobility is a cornerstone of the law enforcement profession, integral to officers’ ability to effectively serve and protect. Whether patrolling on foot, riding horseback, navigating urban landscapes on a bicycle or motorcycle, or responding swiftly in a patrol car, law enforcement personnel must adapt to a variety of terrains and environments. Each mode of transportation serves a unique purpose, enhancing an officer’s capacity to address diverse challenges—from crowd control and community engagement to high-speed pursuits and navigating remote or rugged areas. The dynamic nature of the job demands not only physical readiness but also the versatility to move seamlessly across different settings to ensure public safety.

However, traditional mobility methods are not without their limitations. Patrol cars, while indispensable for tasks like pursuing suspects and transporting equipment, can inadvertently reduce opportunities for face-to-face community engagement. Officers spending extended periods inside vehicles may miss vital opportunities to build trust and rapport with the public. Recognizing these challenges highlights the need for innovative solutions that can address both mobility demands and community interaction.

Innovative electric mobility solutions are reshaping the landscape of community policing, offering an alternative that bridges the gap between squad cars and foot patrols. One such solution is the Trikke Positron, a personal mobility device designed by Trikke Professional Mobility. This three-wheeled, all-electric vehicle is engineered for versatility, capable of navigating sidewalks, streets, parking garages, and even hallways. Its multi-terrain functionality and all-wheel drive system make it ideal for urban and crowded environments where traditional vehicles might struggle.

The Positron is more than just a mobility tool—it enhances tactical advantage and community engagement. With officers elevated on its platform, they gain better visibility over fences, cars, and crowds while maintaining a commanding yet approachable presence. Its silent operation and zero-emissions design align with environmentally friendly practices, and its compact, foldable build allows for easy storage and transport.

Cobb County Trikke Positron positive engagement

Real-life examples demonstrate the Positron’s value. For instance, police departments from California’s Bay Area Rapid Transit Police to the Wilmington Police Department in Wilmington, Delaware, adopted the device to enhance patrolling in dense urban areas and large public events, reporting improved response times and positive community feedback. These success stories underscore its practical benefits and potential to transform traditional policing methods.

The device offers a 35-mile range per charge, powered by an easily rechargeable battery, and its intuitive design ensures accessibility for officers of all skill levels. According to Trikke’s CEO, Gildo Beleski, advancements in battery technology and growing acceptance of electric vehicles have significantly improved the performance and range of the Positron, making it a practical solution for law enforcement.

Cost considerations also play a critical role in adopting such innovations. While the initial investment may seem high, the long-term savings from reduced fuel costs, lower maintenance, and increased operational efficiency make the Positron a cost-effective alternative to traditional patrol vehicles. By incorporating such tools, agencies can strengthen their ability to patrol efficiently while fostering trust with the communities they serve.

By adopting alternatives like the Trikke Positron, law enforcement agencies can achieve a balance between operational efficiency and community engagement. These innovations exemplify how technology can transform traditional policing methods, paving the way for a more agile, interactive, and sustainable future.
