It’s practical, it’s stylish and it’s also environmentally friendly: the e-scooter. In the future, the local police will also use this vehicle, but under certain conditions.
The Ministry of the Interior has now allowed police officers to ride e-scooters. However, this should only be possible for civilian tasks. “So you cannot imagine police-branded scooters with uniformed colleagues on the street,” said a written statement from the Interior Ministry on a report by the “Kurier” (Friday edition). State police departments had the e-scooters in used a test operation and now the field reports were collected and evaluated.

“Based on the knowledge gained from this, a decision will be drawn up that will regulate the use of e-scooters by the police. The need (in terms of the exact number) will be determined in the area of the state police departments and only then will the number of devices be determined by state,” the ministry confirmed. According to “Kurier”, about 20 scooters were used in test operations in Vienna.
The Austrian executive will also test e-cars for their suitability for police services from the fourth quarter of 2023. Next Monday, 23 electric cars for the project will be handed over to the police in Vienna, according to an invitation from the Ministry of the Interior on Friday.
