According to the PIA, Police Lieutenant Colonel Tristan Nara, of the City of San Fernando Police Station is now using electric scooters (e-scooters) for patrol operations. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and promote environmental sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The e-scooters allow officers to navigate narrow streets and crowded areas more effectively, improving their visibility and ability to engage with residents in the City of San Fernando. This was particularly noted during the recent Holy Week, where increased maneuverability helped officers maintain presence in busy locations.

This shift supports the city’s energy conservation and climate goals by using a more sustainable mode of transport. The program aligns with broader efforts by the Philippine National Police and the La Union Police Provincial Office to modernize law enforcement practices.

Authorities remind the public to continue observing local ordinances to help maintain peace and order in La Union. San Fernando’s e-scooter patrols offer a model for integrating sustainability into policing and strengthening community connections.
