The Aledo Police Department is aware of the online discussion regarding an interaction that occurred this morning where an officer stopped a resident operating a vehicle that appeared to be a golf cart and with what was ultimately determined to be a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV). We would like to provide some clarification regarding the incident and the requirements for operating these vehicles on public roadways. Please see the Aledo Police Department’s post from August 18 for a reminder of the limitations on golf carts within the City of Aledo.

Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) are permitted under state law to operate on public roadways with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less when applicable requirements are met. These vehicles must be registered annually with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and meet required federal safety standards, including headlights, turn signals, brake lights, mirrors, seat belts, a windshield, parking brake, horn and other required safety equipment.

Many LSVs closely resemble golf carts at first glance. Because golf carts are not currently permitted on Aledo roadways, an officer may stop a vehicle that appears to be a golf cart to determine whether it is a properly registered LSV and is being operated in compliance with applicable law.

During this morning’s interaction, the officer stopped a vehicle that appeared to be a golf cart. The driver advised the officer that it was a street-legal LSV, and after some discussion, the officer allowed the driver to proceed through the intersection to complete school drop-off. The driver later returned and continued the discussion with the officer. When the driver declined multiple requests to provide identification and proof of insurance, he was temporarily detained while the officer verified the vehicle’s registration and classification. The vehicle was confirmed to be a registered LSV, and the driver was released without a citation or written warning.

Operators of an LSV/NEV, like operators of other motor vehicles, must be licensed drivers and comply with applicable registration and insurance requirements. Drivers should also be prepared to provide the documentation required by law when requested by law enforcement while detained for a traffic stop.

🚨 HELP US IDENTIFY — SCAM SUSPECT 🚨
The Aledo Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying the man pictured, who is suspected of participating in a scam that recently targeted an elderly Aledo resident.
The victim was contacted by individuals falsely claiming to represent her bank and law enforcement. Through deception and pressure, the scammers convinced the victim to withdraw cash from her accounts. The man pictured then met with the victim and collected the money.

If you recognize this individual or have information that may help us identify or locate him, please contact the Aledo Police Department at [email protected].
Anonymous tips may also be submitted through Parker County Crime Stoppers at 817-599-5555, 1-800-942-STOP, or online at pccs.tips.

⚠️ PLEASE TALK TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS ABOUT THESE SCAMS⚠️
Similar impersonation scams have targeted older adults throughout North Texas and across the country. Scammers may pretend to be representatives of a bank, law enforcement agency, or government agency and create a sense of urgency to convince victims to send, transfer, or withdraw money.

Remember:
• Do not withdraw cash, transfer money, purchase gift cards, or hand money to another person based solely on an unexpected phone call.
• Do not trust caller ID alone. Phone numbers and caller information can be manipulated to appear legitimate.
• If someone claims to be calling from your bank, hang up and contact your bank directly using a phone number you know is legitimate.
• If someone claims to be a law enforcement officer or government agent, independently contact that agency to verify the information.
• Be especially cautious if someone tells you to act immediately, keep the situation secret, or avoid speaking with your family, bank, or local law enforcement.
• Never provide passwords, PINs, account login information, or one-time security codes to an unsolicited caller.

👵👴 Please check in on the older adults in your life. Talk with parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends about these scams before they become victims. If someone suddenly mentions an urgent problem involving their bank account, law enforcement, or a request to withdraw a large amount of money, encourage them to stop and independently verify the situation before taking any action.

If you believe you or someone you know has been targeted by a scam, contact your financial institution and local law enforcement as soon as possible.

When in doubt, hang up and verify.

🚫 Golf Cart Reminder 🚫
Golf carts are not currently authorized for general operation on public roadways within the City of Aledo.

Texas law allows cities to adopt an ordinance permitting golf carts on certain streets with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less, but Aledo does not currently have such an ordinance in place.

Please do not use golf carts on city streets for everyday transportation, such as running errands, attending events, visiting neighbors, or traveling around town.

Thank you for helping keep our roadways safe.
