Home My WebLink AboutPD Police - Purchase Segway EPAMDCITY OF PALM DESERT COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT XN REQUEST: APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF TWO SEGWAY ELECTRONIC PERSONAL ASSISTIVE MOBILITY DEVICES (EPAMD) FOR USE BY THE PALM DESERT POLICE DEPARTMENT DATE: February 8, 2007 CONTENTS: Correspondence from Lt. Frank Taylor Preliminary Minutes from the December 13, 2006, Public Safety Commission Meeting Recommendation: By Minute Motion, approve the purchase of two Segway EPAMD with FY 06/07 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding (SLESF) Grant Funds in the amount of $11,970.07. Executive Summary: Approval of this request would authorize the Palm Desert Police Department to purchase two Segway EPAMD with SLESF Grant Funds. Background: At its meeting of December 13, 2006, the Palm Desert Public Safety Commission recommended that the City Council authorize the expenditure of $11,970.07, in SLESF Grant Funds, allocated for expenditure in fiscal year 2006/2007 to purchase two Segway EPAMD for use by Palm Desert Police Department personnel. The Segway EPAMD will allow officers to more effectively patrol the streets by not only using traditional foot and bicycle patrol methods, but to also have this altemative approach in servicing the community. The geographical layout of the City, which includes an expansive business district, makes it an ideal location for alternative police transportation. In addition, annual community events with high attendance necessitates that law enforcement find ways that will allow them to provide better service and quicker response times. The Segway EPAMD is an icebreaker and an ideal policing partner. Its presence facilitates conversation and encourages effective community policing. Officers are more approachable than when sitting in a police unit. With its riding position raised eight inches off the ground, the Segway expands an officers' view above crowds or vehicles. This provides more visibility to the public while giving riders superior site lines for traffic management, crowd control, and community policing. Areas requiring specific patrol enforcement consist of the Highway 111 Business Corridor, the El Paseo Business District, Desert Crossings, Westfield Shoppingtown, and the Palm Staff Report Segway EPAMD Page 2 Desert Civic Center Park. The Segway EPAMD can move an officer smoothly and quietly at two to three times walking speed and can easily double the distance a walking officer can cover. It transitions immediately from walking speed (3 m.p.h.) to sprinting speed (12.5 m.p.h.) when an officer needs to get somewhere fast without causing an alarm. History has shown that when the public sees an officer running it indicates that there is an emergency or other problem in the area, thus drawing the public's attention to an incident and creating crowd control issues. Segways allow an officer to move more discretely and at a faster rate of speed to a traffic area with less public attention. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Public Safety Commission's recommendation to purchase two Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices with fiscal year 06/07 SLESF grants in the amount of $11,970.07.

ILLI ACM FOR COMMUNITY PAUL GIBSON DIRECTOR OF FINANCE/ CITY TREASURER Office VICES �CommunitY Policin� The Segway EPAMD is the ultimate icebreaker and is the idea] policing partner. Its presence facilitates conversation and encourages effective community policing. Officers are more approachable than when they are in sitting in a police unit. With its riding position raised eigllt inches off the ground; it places an officer's view approximately eight inches above crowds or vehicles. This provides more visibility to the public while also giving riders superior sight lines for traffic management, crowd control, a.nd community policing. Officers also get all the attention of horseback patrols without any of the feeding, grooming or housekeeping requirements. The only feeding a Segway EPAMD needs is a standard electrical outlet so it can be recharged (for about 10 cents a day!). Resuonse Times Many areas requiring special patrol enforcement consist of the Hwy 111 business corridor, the El Paseo business district, Desert Crossings, the Westfield Mall, and the Palm Desert Civic Center Park are areas that are vast and separated by moderate distances (1-2 miles). The Sewvay EPAMD can move an officer, smoothly and quietly, at 2-3 times walking speed. It can easily double the amount of area a walking officer can cover, and can transition immediately from walking speed (3 nnph) to sprinting speed (12.5 mph) when an officer needs to get somewhere fast without causing alarm, which is often a concern at popular community events. History has shown that when the public sees an officer running, that means there is an emergency or other problem in that area, thus drawing the public's attention to the incident and creating crowd control issues. The Segway EPAMD allows the officer to move more discreetly, at a faster rate of speed, with less public attention. Taking Policin�to the Next Level-Police Use Police departments around the world are realizing the benefits of integrating Segway EPAMD's into their daily policing and security operations. Chicago Police Deaartment The Chicago Police Department was looking for a more efficient way for its officers to patrol O'Hare International Airport and provide a secure environment to the 200,000 people who move through the facility each day. O'Hare, the largest hub airport in the United States, covers more than 7,000 acres and includes four separate terminals, several massive parking ramps, 178 departure gates and miles of concourses complete with retail stores, gift shops, restaurants, bars, conference centers and cafes. The 69 million people who use O'Hare International each year are always on the inove, and Commander Michael Acosta wants his officers to be able to keep pace. They need to move safely through the inultitudes, and to be conspicuous without causing alarni. They niust be able to patrol vast distances on a regular basis, and respond quickly to security problems wherever they might develop. 2 r PALM DESERT POLICE DEPARTMENT - Se�ved by Che Riverside Courltv Slteriff's Deperrti�zent Bob Doyle, Sl:eriff- Coroszer Bob Doyle,Sheriff-Coroner TO: Public Safety Commission DATE: October 31, 2006 REQUEST: Acquisition and deployment of Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Device (EPAMD) i2 Police model SUBMITTED BY: Lieutenant Frank Taylor, ACOP Palm Desert Police Department RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Public Safety Committee review and approve the Palm Desert Police to acquire and deploy two Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices. (EPAMD) This equipment could be purchased, with authorization from the city of Palm Desert, through the expected SLESF grant funds for FY 06/07. The costs for acquiring the Segway i2 Police model would be $11,970.07, including all applicable sales tax. SUMMARY: The deployment of police officers on bicycles has proven to be effective both in reducing crime and at improving community relations. Technology advances have resulted in a new tool that can maintain and perhaps even improve on the positive aspects of bicycle patrol. The Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Device (EPAMD) has been successfully integrated into police operations at several agencies around the country with rave reviews from officers and the public. DISCUSSION: The Palm Desert Police Department has looked into ways through technology and advances in law enforcement in order to provide innovative ways to not only protect the citizens, but also to provide the best service possible. The geographical layout of the city, which includes an expansive business district, makes for.an ideal location for alternative police transportation. In addition, annual community events with high attendance necessitates that law enforcement find ways that allow them to provide better service and quicker response times. In the past, officers on foot or bicycle patrol have filled these requirements with various levels of success. A new option for this type of enforcement is the Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Device (EPAMD). The Segway EPAMD will allow officers to patrol more effectively by allowing them to not only use the traditional foot or bicycle patrol methods, but also have an alternative approach in servicin�the community. 1 Commander Acosta has now found wliat he thinks may be the ideal tool for his officers: tlie Segway EPAMD. After testing the units foi• nearly a year, the city of Chica�o purchased 28 Se�way's and put them into full seivice at O'Hare in February?004. Today, 40 Chicago police officers have been fiilly trained on the Sewvay. Ten Segway's are in constant use at O'Hare, covering all tenninals during all shifts. Another five are on patrol at Chicago Midway Aiiport. According to Acosta, the Segway's are a uniquely valuable tool for his officers. Segway's also making it easier for Acosta's officers to interact with people. "People come up and talk to the officers on the Segway's," says Acosta. "It makes the officers more visible." Riding on a Segway also makes the officer a head taller than the rest of the crowd, which provides for good sightlines. Redlands Police Department The Redlands Police Department currently has three Segway's in service as special event vehicles or community oriented policing tools. They have also been used in burglary suppression in apartment complexes and reducing commercial burglaries in the city. The Redlands Police Chief Bueermann stated he is very satisfied with the performance of the Segway and currently has three in service and is planning to purchase an off-road model. The Chief also stated that the Segway's are very effective in community-based events and highly recommends them in these settings. Temecula Police Department The Temecula Police Department currently has seven Segway's in use azound the city. School Resource Officers assigned to each of the cities' high schools use them to quickly move around campus. In addition, the Segway's are based at the Old Town Substation and at the Promenade Mall. Since their deployment about six months ago, Capt. Mitch Alm stated they have been unable to keep officers off of them due to their popularity and effectiveness. The purchase of additional units is pending; however the expansion of their deployment is under review. Capt. Alm stated the Segway possess all of the abilities of a bicycle, with less maintenance and almost negligible training time. Capt. Alm stated the use of bicycles as patrol vehicles will be obsolete in the near future due to the Segway's abilities. Equinment Canabilities The Segway i2 Police model readily navigates a wide range of operating environments and terrain. The extended-range batteries deliver an impressive range of up to 24 miles on a single charge, depending on terrain, riding style and payload. Saphion lithium-ion batteries are low- maintenance, have a long service life and can operate at battery temperatures as low as 14° F (- 10° C). In addition to the redundant safety features and the durable engineering at the heart of all Segway EPAMD models, the i2 Police model comes equipped with a number of standard features. Power assist mode allows you to move the device up and down stairs more easily. The control shafi is adjustable to the comfort of the rider and allows the Segway EPAMD to fit in the trunk of many 3 . , cars. To help prevent theft, each Segway EPAMD comes with its own InfoKey coniroller, which is used to start and lock the vehicle. ln addition, the controller also serves as an alarni should the locked vehicle be tampered with or moved. Like every Segway EPAMD, the i2 Police model has very low mai»tenance costs associated with daily use. Benefits The benefit to the Palm Desert Police Department will be that the Segway EPAMD becomes another tool to allow officers to move around more easily, thus providing assistance to citizens more efficiently and effectively. This will be readily apparent while working the multitude of annual events, or while conducting directed enforcement within the city. It will allow the officers to move back and forth easier, as they do on bicycles, while allowing them to cover more ground than during traditional foot beats. The Segway EPAMD also makes it easier for officers to interact with people. Case studies have shown that the public is more incline to approach the officer and converse with him. This is enhanced not only by the novelty of the Segway, but also by the silent operation, which is similar to a slow moving bicycle. Training Upon the purchase of the Segway EPAMD, Segway will provide a two-hour training session for staff inembers selected to use the Segway in a patrol enforcement setting. Those individuals trained by Segway can then provide the same training to any other individual prior to their use of the Segway to reduce any potential liability issues. The Chief of Police at Redlands indicated that the Segway is user friendly and most individuals trained on the Segway learn it within a few minutes. Capt. Alm and Lt. Terry Hudson of the Temecula Police Department echoed this comment. Training time is very quick with the use of a video and then a two-hour supervised practice session. Citv Ordinances The City of Palm Desert currently has city ordinances in place specifically controlling Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices. (EPAMD) The codes are noted within the Palm Desert Municipal Code as follows: 10.78.010 Purpose and intent.

(EPAMD) This equipment could be purchased, with authorization from the city of Palm Desert, through the expected SLESF grant funds for FY 06/07. The costs for acquiring the Segway i2 Police model would be $11,970.07, including all applicable sales tax. SUMMARY: This report contains supplemental information to the staff report of October 31, 2006, regarding a recommendation to purchase two Segway Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices, (EPAMD) i2 Police models. DISCUSSION: While preparing the initial report on this proposal, I received information regarding the cost of the Segway's. (EPAMD) Apparently Segway's were being advertised as available to the public for a cost of approximately $3,900.00 each. This cost was substantially less than the $5,985.00, which was quoted in the price supplied by Segway of the Desert in their proposal. On November 15, 2006, I contacted Vic Blumenthal at Segway of the Desert regarding this information. He told me the base price of the i2 is $4,995 while the Police version is $5,495. The Police Package proposal includes eight accessories and sales tax,which comes up to the $5,985.00 figure. Blumenthal told me there are only two models the i2 and the x?. He stated Sam's Club (Wall Mart)purchased 600 of the predecessor to the�?, the XT, and are presently selling them for $3,888. He advised this is an old machine will probably not be supported in a few years. 1 ORDINANCE NO. 1o41-a AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY `- OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 10.78 TO TITLE 10 OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING ELECTRIC PERSONAL ASSISTIVE MOBILlTY DEVICES WHEREAS, the California Legislature has included electric personal assistive devices ("EPAMD") in the definition of "pedestrian" (Vehicle Code § 467); and WHEREAS, the California Legislature has provided for local entities to regulate and/or prohibit the use of EPAMD (Vehicle Code §21282); and WHEREAS, the City Council of Palm Desert wishes to regulate and/or prohibit the use of EPAMD on City sidewalks to ensure the safety of its citizens; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert finds that pedestrian safety would be jeopardized by the use and operation of EPAMD on sidewalks within certain areas of the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert encourages alternative modes of transportation in a safe envi�onment; � NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1.

E. Consideration of Request from Paim Desert Police Department for Approval of Acquisition and Deployment of Segway Electronic Personai Assistive Mobility Device (EPAMD) i2 Police Model Lt. Frank Taytor reviewed the staff report, noting that these finro devices would be in addition to the bicycles currently being used by the Police Department, and they would be used mainly throughout the business district of the City; however, they could also be used for special assignments within the park, at special events, at the mall, Golf Cart Parade, etc. He noted there had been a change in design since the devices were first before Public Safety Commission; the original models had a throttle tum, and now the operators can maneuver by leaning in the direction they want to tum. He showed a video of the devices in use at the Promenade Mall in Temecula. Upon question by Chairman Lebel relative to costs for these devices other than the initiat purchase price, Lt. Taylor responded that they had three-year warranties for parts. He added that they were electric and couid run for approximately 12 hours (or 25 miles) on a single charge;the time to recharge the battery pack would be approximately 2 hours, and top running speed was 12 miles per hour. Upon question by Commissioner Butrbach, he said the Palm Desert Police Department would require its officers to wear helmets when 3 PRELIMINARY MINUTES PUBLiC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 13, 2006 operating the Segway; City ordinance required that as well. Commissioner Butrbach asked whether using these devices as a law enforcement tool would require any amendment to the City ordinance or if law enforcement was exempt. Mrs. Gilligan responded that they would be exempt. She said while there was a restriction in the City's current ordinanoe, State law allows them, and State law would supercede the City's ordinance. Commissioner Butzbach asked whether there were any down sides to these devices such as damaged property or injury. Lt. Taylor responded that there had been a recall in the past dealing with the computer software. When the Segway got on wet grass, the computer would try to catch up, the wheels would spin back to stop itself, and there was a case where an operator fell off. The software had subsequen�y been upgraded to resolve that problem. He added that he was not aware of any other significant injuries occurring. Commissioner Nethery said he felt these devices were perfect for enclosed areas like shopping malls. He asked what advantages there would be over bicycles for outside areas. Lt. Taylor responded that they were an additional tool to assist the Police Department and would allow officers to do some specialty things. Commissioner Nethery noted that other police departments cu�rently using these devices indicated there was not a lot of dovm time because of the technology and how well they are made, and Lt. Taylor agreed. Mrs. Gilligan asked whether these devices were being used currently at the mall by security . Lt. Taylor responded that while he had not yet seen any at the mall, he had been advised by mall security that they would be temporarily acquiring a couple.
