They are especially suited for parking enforcement and specialized patrol on college campuses and business premises. Multiterrain vehicles are useful when officers are required to travel into remote areas such as mountains and beaches. Their low-pressure, high-floatation tires and motorcycle-type engines and handlebar steering provide maneuverability in traversing tough terrain. They can often be used for search and rescue missions. Mobile substations or precincts can be driven...
