The Carabinieri have begun implementing electric-assist bicycle patrols in various Italian locations to enhance urban monitoring and community engagement.

In Agrigento, the initiative introduced e-bikes to navigate narrow historic alleys and high-traffic areas such as the Valle dei Templi Archaeological Park and the San Leone seafront. The program focuses on “proximity security,” aiming to facilitate direct contact between officers, citizens, and tourists through silent, zero-emission mobility.

Similarly, in Montecatini Terme, the Carabinieri launched a bicycle service to increase presence in pedestrian zones, parks, and green spaces. This service is intended to complement traditional patrols, targeting the prevention of micro-criminality and urban decay while maintaining environmental sustainability.
