The Canton Police Department is adding a new form of patrol, which will enhance community safety and support the City of Canton's sustainability goals.
Canton Police Chief Stephen Merrifield announced that the department had added two new all-electric motorcycles to its fleet. He stated, "The motorcycles will allow us to patrol our newly expanded park trail system and allow us to do it without emission and noise pollution." "This will allow officers to engage more community members as we continue to build relationships and trust."

The Motorcycles are manufactured by Zero Motorcycles and are designed for on and off-road use.
