Colleges and Universities nationwide are following the lead of local police forces and corporate security teams by putting Segway PTs to work on their campuses. For both grounds and maintenance crews and security patrols, Segway PTs are quick, flexible, easy to maneuver and easy to maintain. Find out from others how Segway PTs can benefit your campus. Like all major universities, Duke University is constantly looking for ways to provide a safer environment for its students and staff. That's no small feat when you consider that nearly 11,000 students and teachers live, work, study and play in an area covering more than 16 square miles. The director of Duke University Police has found the Segway PT to be a valuable tool for his patrol officers. Like many police departments at large universities, the University of Maryland Department of Public Safety faces many challenges in providing a safe and secure environment on a sprawling urban campus. There are 32,000 full-time students at the University, and another 20,000 people who attend classes at night. The campus is the size of a not-so-small town - about 2,000 acres - and it contains both high-density student residence halls and less populated swaths of open park-like land. According to Captain John Brandt, the police department has always been open to new technology that improves campus policing, so when the Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) popped up on their radar screen they immediately took a look at it. University of MemphisThe University of Memphis Physical Plant Department recently purchased Segway™ PTs to increase response time and strengthen overall customer service. Various departments at the university are now utilizing Segway PT. Among them, the Electronic Shop and the Lock Shop have greatly benefited from the use of this new technology. Worcester Polytechnic InstituteWPI's Campus Police Department has already started using two of the Segway PTs to make patrols around WPI's 80-acre main campus easier. Use of the Segway PTs is expected to open relations between officers and students-acting as an icebreaker to spark conversations and make officers more approachable. |
