Police use Segways to catch crims - Is that possible?

Wow, this picture actually looks like they are travelling at a break-neck speed, when in fact, don't Segways travel at a maximum speed of around 20km an hour?

Apparently Police are now using Segways to patrol the Long Beach area in California...what kind though of crims though? They must be in charge of nursing homes. :)
