How to buy specialty vehicles (eBook)

The police cruiser is the staple vehicle within the law enforcement arena. It’s used for traffic stops, complaint responses, assistance requests, traffic diversion, small- scale investigations, and a number of other traditional calls for service.

But this isn’t where your responsibilities as a police officer, detective, shift supervisor or chief officer stop. There are often situations that require more resources, are a bit more taxing in terms of both operations and logistics, and require a more suitable environment to promote effective communications. There are often times where specialty incidents, long-time-frame events or unique-hazard situations require more cargo space, office-like capabilities, or task-specific functions than what a sedan or compact SUV can offer. They require some form of specialty vehicle.

Specialty vehicles can be sourced large or compact, driven or in-tow, and planning-focused compared to action-focused. As a result, addressing some of the nuances and specific considerations of these specialty needs is necessary to solve the very problems that you’re seeking answers to.
