Security

Corporate and contract security firms are increasingly faced with the challenge of optimizing the efficiency and productivity of their security team in order to meet their client’s demanding requirements. Security officers that utilize Segway Patrollers appreciate its ability to:

  • Improve response time by traveling up to 12.5 mph
  • Trek indoors, outdoors, into elevators, up ramps and through doorways
  • Turn with a true zero radius, pivot within its own shoulder width footprint and maneuver in very tight spaces, including between parked cars
  • Traverse various terrain quickly and enable them to patrol vast areas to manage large crowds

“The Segway Patroller allows for quick transportation throughout the University’s sprawling campus and at large events. It can also easily travel from indoors to outdoors. The overall versatility is terrific.”
Captain Jon Barnwell,

“We have calculated that using one Segway Patroller produces a manpower savings of one and a half men or at least $50,000 – 60,000 per year, per unit. That is an incredible return on investment.”
Tom Dorgen, Security Manager,
Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority

“The Segway PTs made the officers more visible and, as a result, the shoppers and store owners felt more secure. In addition, because of the maneuverability of the units and the increased observational height, our officers were able to see over cars and better patrol our parking facilities.”
