Three electric bicycles have joined the Cayce (South Carolina) Police Department. The bikes were given thanks to a new community partnership with a local vehicle manufacturer, according to a post on Cayce PD's Facebook page.

Police Chief Chris Cowan said the e-bikes are part of the city's pursuit of E-Tech, like solar power and other electric resources, to add to its policing efforts.

"This allows us to lessen our impact on the environment, reduce costs to taxpayers, and increase the speed and length of time we can deploy resources — all an integral part of our effort to continue to make Cayce a safe place to live, work, and play," Cowan said.
