Capitol City donates electric bicycles valued at $25,000 to Memphis Police Department
— John H. Weston Jr.
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Memphis Police Department (MPD) has received 10 new top-of-the-line electric bicycles to use in the entertainment district. This donation was made possible by CEO John H. Weston Jr. and Capitol City Residential Healthcare.
Excel Power Bikes are designed specifically for law enforcement to use. Previously, the Memphis Police Department used manual bicycles for patrol. MPD officials said the bikes will allow officers to respond faster in crowded areas and during events like Memphis in May.
“These bikes will enable officers to work in crowds and areas where vehicles cannot go and do so faster than could typically be done on foot. This donation will increase officer visibility and the ground they can cover,” said Police Chief “CJ” Cerelyn Davis.
