Patrolling Columbus Streets is a Balancing Act

Segways on Columbus Streets with Columbus Police-who knew?The other day, when I was in Downtown Columbus, I spotted a police officer on a Segway.  Who knew?  Maybe only parking meter patrols use them because that’s a bunch of blank tickets in his back pocket.  I’ve seen our mounted police in and around downtown Columbus and other city neighborhoods but never on a Segway.

There is one gentleman I see going to work downtown coming from the Short North and headed South from time to time who rides a Segway and I’ve seen them here and there when driving through historic Columbus Neighborhoods showing houses, but I’ve always wondered why they haven’t caught on.  Any thoughts?

    I know why they haven’t caught on. Because most people would rather walk and keep their dignity.

    Chicago Police and Fire have been using them for sometime. It is a nice addition to a City much like the mount police. In Columbus, the word is that the Segways will allow Parking Enforcement to cover more ground in a shorter period of time. You may need to raid your piggy bank to feed the meters…………….
