If you spotted a three-wheeled motorcycle cruising near the elementary school or along 2781 and did a double-take, you’re not alone.
That sleek machine isn’t from a movie set. It’s part of the Benbrook Police Department’s traffic enforcement effort.
Yes, BPD has been in the motorcycle game the last few years, but with a twist. Instead of your typical two-wheeled patrol bike, they’re test-driving a Can-Am Spyder, a unique three-wheeled vehicle provided through a dealer loan program. It’s the first of its kind in the region, and it’s turning heads while helping officers keep local streets safer.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. BPD also uses bike patrols—yes, pedal-powered bicycles—for neighborhood watch, park patrols, and business district visibility. It’s an innovative and approachable way to stay connected with the community while remaining mobile.
The next time you see a three-wheeled motorcycle or a uniformed officer rolling by on two wheels, know that Benbrook’s police force is working creatively to keep traffic in check and keep communities safe.
