SPECIALIZED PATROLS Can you go 25 mph on foot? "If [departments] don't have the budget to hire people, a vehicle that increases visibility is just as important," says Brian Lamacchia, T3 Motion's West Coast regional sales director. This comment is in reference to the T3's size—the Patroller runs a 13-square-foot footprint; the Vision at a sleeker 8. The product line includes two unique packages, a third offering suspension for driver comfort. Larger sizes mean additional accessory options. "Our vehicle…gives us a larger domain for things like lights and horns," says Lamacchia. "It also gives us the ability to provide a video tracking system." The system is named MotionTrak and basically acts as in-car video. It not only allows video recording but also takes note of driver habits—speed, position, time, direction and more. Another feature is controlled speed "mode." This is set by a key switch and limits top speed by selection. Vision also boasts a non-marking tire, a design angled towards indoor operations like malls and airports.
