Police in one city on Florida’s east coast have told the U.S. Department of Justice they need help fighting crime: Segways. Police in Cocoa have applied for $44,000 from the department to purchase seven of the two-wheeled scooters. They would be used to police riverfront events and the city’s business district. Cocoa officers tried out the Segways earlier in the month at a Fourth of July celebration. “They absolutely loved it,” police Lt. John Hankins said. LINK
