Opinions please.
As a retired police officer, I can tell you that golf carts are used frequently by departments in congested areas and special events. The carts make it easier for officers to respond to situations faster than walking or trying to get a full size vehicle through traffic or crowds. The squares seem like the perfect venue for this type of vehicle to be used to traverse quickly to situations while being able to also carry extra specialized equipment.
