Features:

We proudly partnered with the Racine Police Department in Wisconsin to engineer a next‑generation Mobile Hostage Negotiation Vehicle, designed to replace their aging unit and elevate their crisis‑response capabilities. This purpose‑built mobile command vehicle integrates advanced technology, secure workspaces, and mission‑critical equipment to support effective negotiation operations in high‑stakes situations.

Whether responding to barricaded subjects, hostage incidents, or critical negotiations, this custom law enforcement vehicle provides officers with a controlled, secure, and fully functional mobile operations center in the field.

Seamless Exterior and Integrated Tactical Features

Built on an 18′ rivetless shelter, the vehicle delivers a clean, professional appearance while providing durability and weather resistance. Custom skirting and integrated storage boxes create a unified exterior that improves aerodynamics and functionality.

Exterior Enhancements Include:

q Rivetless seamless design for a polished, modern appearance

q Custom built exterior storage boxes for gear and equipment

q Emergency light and siren package tailored for police response

q PA system and light controller installed in the cab

q Emergency lights at all four corners, sides, front, and rear

q Scene lights on both sides + rear center for nighttime operations

q Full 360 degree camera perimeter system with cab and interior monitors

q On board generator, shore power, and battery system for extended operation

q Dual rooftop AC units and interior heaters for all weather comfort

q Large cord reel for throw phone connection with interior workstation integration

q Full length awning for covered outdoor workspace

These features ensure the vehicle performs reliably during extended negotiations, remote deployments, and rapidly evolving tactical situations.

Purpose Built Interior for Hostage Negotiation Teams

The interior was engineered with two separate work zones, allowing negotiators, command staff, and IT teams to operate efficiently without interference.

Front Work Area:

q Bench seat with storage and removable table

q Personal equipment shelf near the entry

q Floor to ceiling cabinet with electrical system and IT rack

q Standing counter with printer space and refrigerator underneath

Walls are lined with whiteboard material for quick note‑taking, planning, and tracking suspect communication. Noise‑dampening carpet beneath counters helps maintain a quiet, controlled environment.

Secure Rear Negotiation Room

q Floor to ceiling Pelican case aluminum cabinet (passenger side)

q Workstation facing pocket door with overhead cabinet

q Two additional workstations along the rear wall

q Roof escape hatch for safety and confidentiality (chosen instead of side emergency window)

This environment offers negotiators a quiet, secure space to communicate with subjects, coordinate strategy, and operate sensitive equipment without distraction.
