Since 1997, PAWS Chicago has been on a mission to transform Chicago into a “No Kill” city where pets are no longer destroyed because they are homeless. Through PAWS Chicago’s work in the community, the number of homeless pets killed per year has dropped from more than 42,000 to less than 19,000, representing a decrease of more than a 50 percent.

For the upcoming PAWS Chicago black-tie fundraiser, “Fur Ball“, which takes place this Friday at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, we have donated one of our 100% electric motor scooters to be sold during the live auction portion of the dinner program. The entire proceeds from the auctioned scooter will go directly to help PAWS Chicago continue fulfilling its mission of creating a solution-based approach to animal welfare.

At Xtreme Green Products, we are proud to support organizations like PAWS Chicago and the work they are doing to improve our communities.

Since 1893, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has opened its doors each year to welcome public safety officers from around the world to meet and learn about the newest and most advanced technologies for the law enforcement industry. This past weekend marked the start of the 116th annual conference in Denver, Colorado, and once again, the turnout is expected to include over 15,000 law enforcement professionals.

2009 is the first year that we will be exhibiting at the conference with our public safety distributor, Lund Industries. Not only do we believe that the show provides an excellent opportunity to meet industry leaders, but it also offers a unique platform for showcasing our newest vehicle offering, the Xtreme Green police motorcycle. This motorcycle offers the power and reliability of the X Rider, but also incorporates a police package, which includes official black and white police livery, flashing LED lights, added side storage compartments, and a police siren.

In addition to our police motorcycle, we are also exhibiting our Sentinel Police Mobility Vehicle (PMV). For those that are unfamiliar with the Sentinel PMV, it is one of our leading electric vehicles. We designed the Sentinel specifically to improve officer and security patrol in highly populated areas, such as urban neighborhoods, airports, indoor and outdoor malls, college campuses, parks, and business districts. Each PMV can travel at speeds approaching 29 miles per hour and has a range of up to 80 miles per charge. With an operational cost of just one cent per mile, the Sentinel is easily one of the most cost-effective, efficient, and reliable vehicles available to the law enforcement industry.

If you are planning to attend the conference this week, stop by our booth, #1642, to say hello and to check out our new police motorcycle or the Sentinel PMV.
