2026-03-31 13:00 - 14:00
Operating a 24/7 law enforcement fleet leaves no room for downtime — yet many agencies still struggle with reactive maintenance, unpredictable costs, and replacement debates that surface too late.

Integrated telematics, fuel systems, and lifecycle data
Developed long-range replacement forecasting through 2040
Reduced operational surprises in a high-risk, 24/7 environment

Zero Emissions Vehicle Options for Law Enforcement (March 2026)
2026-03-19 14:00 - 15:30
Law enforcement agencies are rapidly expanding their use of battery-electric vehicles (EVs) for patrol, traffic enforcement, and specialty assignments—driven by fuel and maintenance savings, emissions goals, and the emergence of pursuit-capable platforms. This webinar will provide a practical, decision-focused look at what it takes to evaluate, procure, and operate EVs in law enforcement, including duty-cycle fit, charging strategy, upfitting and equipment loads, vehicle downtime, and total cost of ownership.
Join this webinar to hear candid, first-hand lessons learned from a large municipal police department with a year of experience operating a fleet of Chevy Blazer Police Pursuit Vehicles, plus a retired police chief and change-management consultant who will address the organizational and cultural shifts needed for successful fleet electrification. We’ll also explore how EV pursuit platforms perform under rigorous vehicle dynamics testing—what metrics matter most, how to interpret results, and the key questions to ask as you assess EVs for your agency’s operational needs.
