Chassis:
Ford Transit 148” Wheelbase Extended High Roof
Made in partnership with Delaware County PD, this mobile Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) Transit is engineered to serve as a compact command vehicle, complementing larger shelters mounted on trucks. This vehicle is particularly advantageous for small cities, budget-conscious operations, or areas with narrow roads, offering a well-organized interior designed to maximize available space for both work and briefing activities.
Exterior Features
The design of the vehicle’s exterior emphasizes a discreet appearance. The black paint effectively conceals features such as small emergency lights. Key exterior elements include:
A generator housed in a service-accessible box, strategically located behind the driver’s seat
Shore cord receptacles on the street's side for easy access to power
Dual roof-mounted air conditioning units equipped with heat strips, ensuring a comfortable and functional interior climate in various weather conditions
A custom aluminum diamond plate step mounted at the rear and side doors for improved accessibility
A Whelen emergency lighting and sound package that features four small round lights at each corner, additional lights on the rear doors, and grill lights, enhancing visibility while maintaining a low-profile look
Interior Features
The vehicle’s interior is intelligently divided into two distinct areas: a front work and seating area and a private briefing room designed for two occupants. Despite its compact size, the layout is both functional and thoughtfully designed:
A workstation counter is installed on the streetside, complete with a desk, chair, and a pull-out drawer for added convenience
An overhead storage cabinet is positioned on the streetside, featuring a drawer accessible from the workstation desk
A flip-up seat is integrated into the curbside wall, and a bench with additional storage is located on the street side
A pocket door partition separates the rear briefing room, ensuring privacy for discussions
The front partition features carpet on the cab side, while the cargo side is equipped with a whiteboard for notes or presentations
The briefing room includes a removable rear conference table, enhancing its functionality
