just wondering why police depts. need so much heavy duty stuff in military colors and style? camo uniforms, armored vehicles, etc.
I think the old “swat” teams have moved to a new level,, maybe not a good one ?

They have more pictures posted on the Marion Body Works website. Pretty impressive rig. Microwave and coffee maker included.

Some military folk are taking issue with the insignia on the side. Apparently it’s a copy or similar to a special operations unit patch.

Thanks for the color correction. For some reason it looks gold but I can see how it can be mistaken. I always thought olive drab was the most popular military color and the first that comes to mind when you say military green

For reference this is the truck I’m talking about:

I’d LOVE to see a shot of that and NIPAS’s truck. Together those would be quite a team.

Does anyone know if is just a comm van or does it also serve an emergency services and/or swat role? Thanks in advance.

Nice looking monster. One doesn’t expect a gold color apparatus.
