The Grove City Police
Strategic Response Team (SRT) unit does high-risk search warrant
execution, surveillance, dignitary protection and
hostage/barricade negotiation and response. Creative Mobile
Interiors converted this Workhorse 16-ft. response unit to seat
14 and hold all the specialty gear SRT officers use on the job.
Seating is provided in
upholstered benches and aluminum grab rails are mounted to the
ceiling.
Strips of red and blue LED
lighting run across the windshield and the rear doors to clear
traffic when needed.
It has custom storage cabinets
for the group’s firearms, ammunition, helmets and protective
body gear, tear gas, riot shields, battering rams, infrared
cameras, electronic listening devices and throw phones for
hostage negotiations.
The SWAT van also holds 12
personal lockers and a workspace for a dispatcher.
The unit also includes
white and red lights inside, so that officers can adjust to
night vision before stepping out of the vehicle.
