News LBPD North Division Cops Get Segways Thanks To Donation By Signal Hill Petroleum
(Nov. 22, 2008) -- Residents, businesses and visitors in LB's North Division will see police officers on Segways -- cutting-edge two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicles -- thanks to a donation from Signal Hill Petroleum to the LB Police Foundation (a non-profit public safety support group) facilitated by 8th district Councilwoman Rae Gabelich.
Signal Hill Petroleum's donation was announced at a November 19 press event at LB's North Division police station. Quoted in Signal Hill Petroleum's release:
LBPD Chief Anthony Batts: "The Segway has proven to be a valuable tool that allows patrol officers to be more visible and accessible in community policing situations. With Segways, officers are able to get out of their cars and have increased interaction with members of our community."
