Port Authority Puts Electric Patrol Vehicles to the Test
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is testing electric patrol vehicles in an 18-month pilot supporting its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. From officer training to charging schedules, the program explores what it takes to bring EVs into everyday police operations.
Tupelo Police have added a $322,000 Lenco BearCat to their fleet following three years of planning. The department’s first armored vehicle can carry 10 people and provides a protected space to assist injured individuals during SWAT operations and other dangerous situations.
