California-based mobility company, T3 Motion, has provided four T3 Series vehicles to the tech-savvy Police Department under the direction of pioneering Chief William Bratton to provide security services at the award show this Sunday. The vehicles have also been used throughout Los Angeles County to patrol the Golden Globe Awards, the Martin Luther King Day parade, the Beverly Hill's Centennial of Service Celebration, as well as the Los Angeles International Airport during the busy holiday travel season.

"We are glad to offer new technology that will aid in venue security at such a prestigious event as the Oscars," says T3 Motion President, Neil Brooker. "The T3 Series is the future of personal mobility and offers high-performance together with user-friendly technology that is sure to shorten police response time and lessen officer fatigue -- a must when patrolling such a high profile, large scale event."
