The Department of Public
Safety has tested some new progressive pieces of
equipment for use by the officers. The Segway
was one of those, and proved to be quite an
efficient tool. Besides allowing officers to
move expeditiously in the street, they were also
able to navigate on sidewalks and even through
the halls of the residential buildings here on
Roosevelt island.
As a matter of fact, while
test-riding one of the Segways through the halls
of Eastwood, Officer Veras made an arrest,
apprehending a subject for Criminal Trespass.
Several Board Members approved of these
efficient Patrol tools, especially after test
riding them themselves.
P.S.D. will be purchasing
two Segways and they will be here on the island
soon.
