In One Ohio County, Golf Carts Patrol Streets

by Mike Thompson, NPR

Some sheriff deputies in Fairfield County, Ohio, are using golf carts to save gas and money.

Deputies in the community of Bremen (pop. 1,200) use the electric carts to patrol some neighborhoods.

Deputies say the carts are not only more efficient, they also improve community-policing efforts.

Mike Thompson reports from member station WOSU.
