The 31-foot police vehicle, dubbed mobile command unit (MCU) #1, was unveiled during a recent meeting of the Halton Regional Police Services board. MCU#1, which is now op erational, is part of an $850,000 two-vehicle project initiated to replace the po lice service's existing RV- style MCU. The secondary MCU, a 26-foot vehicle created by this project, has been in ser vice since February 2017. Insp. Derek Davis talked about the role MCU#1 would be playing in the communi ty. "We looked at all the pri or usage of our original MCU. The general percep tion is that they are for the tactical type calls. "What we actually found out is that it was used more at investigative events, fol lowed by search events, fol lowed by special events," said Davis. "So we built in all the ca pability and more that we need for those tactical- real emergency incidents, but we have also built in some support systems for search es and investigative pieces." Davis noted the result is a vehicle that police can take to the scene of a bank rob bery and co-ordinate the in vestigation from, or take to the place were a missing per son was last seen and launch a search. The vehicle can also serve as a base for the police presence at a large-scale event like the Burlington Sound of Music Festival. It can also house negotia tors during the police re sponse to an incident where an individual has barricad ed themselves in their home and is threatening harm. • See NEW, page 46 If you find a cheaper price, simply show us and we will match.
