Have you ever experienced a work emergency while away from your desk or office? You may find yourself scrambling for information, trying to reach the right person, or wishing you had access to your normal workspace.
Now imagine being a law enforcement professional responding to a natural disaster, major investigation, emergency scene, or critical incident. These situations require personnel to work in the field while still needing access to communication systems, technology, power, and workspace.
That is exactly where a mobile command vehicle becomes so valuable.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, a proper mobile command vehicle has a few key features that let law enforcement agencies bring a functional command center directly to the scene.
Reliable Communication Systems
One of the biggest advantages of a mobile command vehicle is the ability to integrate multiple communication systems into one centralized space.
Depending on the agency’s needs, this can include two way radios, dispatch equipment, PA systems, cellular communication, Wi-Fi, and other specialized systems.
At TWR Specialty Vehicles, we work with trusted vendors and equipment providers to help ensure the systems used in our builds are reliable and appropriate for the vehicles intended use.
Power You Can Depend On
A mobile command vehicle is only as affective as the power system supporting it.
Agencies should consider how long the vehicle may remain deployed, how many personnel will be onboard, and how many computers, monitors, radios, cameras, and other devices will require power.
TWR offers several battery and generator options that we have tested, approved, and recommend for our mobile command projects. Our gool is to help ensure teams have reliable power whether they are operating for a few hours or remaining in the field for extended periods.
Wi-Fi, Drones, and Additional Technology
Modern emergency response often requires much more than radios alone.Wi-Fi systems, drones, cameras, monitors, and other technology can all be integrated into a custom mobile command vehicle. Drones can provide aerial visibility of an incident scene, while onboard Wi-Fi allows teams to access digital information and communicate with other agencies while working remotely.
By planning for these systems from the beginning, the technology can be incorporated into the vehicle efficiently and intentionally.
Built Around Your Operation
Every agency operates differently, making there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a mobile command unit. At TWR Specialty Vehicles, we help customers, such as Garland County, select communication, power, and technology systems based on how and where the vehicle will actually be used.
From generators and batteries to radios, PA systems, Wi-Fi, drones, and other integrated technology, our team works to create a mobile command vehicle that supports your team when communication matters most.
