The Police Department was contacted by the Bi-State Regional Commission to develop an educational presentation on the department’s acquisition and use of an electric vehicle for government use based on the success the department has had with the electric police motorcycle. The presentation will focus on the benefits of electric vehicles in policing and how the unit positively impacted the department’s operations. The first annual Bi-State Alternative Fuels Vehicle Summit is being held on April 3rd in Rock Island, Illinois.
