Chief Ronal Serpas and Mayor Bill Purcell today got their first detailed look at the police department’s new armored rescue vehicle, acquired through a $250,000 Department of Homeland Security federal grant.
The armored rescue vehicle, which will be used to assist in SWAT operations and the execution of high risk search and arrest warrants, replaces the department’s 25-year-old armored vehicle. It is equipped with thermal imaging equipment, weapons of mass destruction detection equipment, a radiological detection package, and explosive detection equipment.
