Ad Loading...

The GEM/Zero Electric Police Motorcycle was designed and manufactured by Beaudry Police to act as a green alternative to patrol motorcycles. With a 196-mile estimated range and 116 ft-pounds of torque, it's made to keep up with its gas-powered brothers. The company saw the potential for converting this distinctive two-wheeled platform into a law enforcement tool whether for daily patrol or stealth operations. The GEM/Zero is mission capable along with almost zero cost per mile, according to the company.

850 Impact D-Collar Boat

Brunswick's Impact D features a hybrid air/foam-filled collar mounted to a solid fiberglass gunnel. Instead of a fully circular tube, the Impact D-collar allows for more space on deck and added maneuverability and versatility for the crew. The D-collar gives customers the best characteristics of a standard fiberglass hull with the benefits of an RHIB. Law enforcement finds this design especially suited to tactical maneuvers, where boarding another craft may be necessary, according to the company.

Polaris Ranger

The Polaris Ranger helps improve response time and reach to locations – both urban and off-road – where cars, trucks, or helicopters cannot operate. Rangers are also a budget-friendly alternative to full-size vehicles, as are the maintenance, parts, and repair costs. Ranger law enforcement units provide professional, squad car-type capabilities in a nimble vehicle complete with the same sirens, horns, PA system, and emergency lighting from Federal Signal, professionally upfit by Action Fleet and under warranty from Polaris. Purchase as a single vehicle from Polaris, NJPA or GSA.
