How to Turn a First Responder Vehicle into a Mobile Command Post

Police officers, sheriffs, and immediate responders know that when they are the first to arrive at the scene of an incident, it is important to maintain control and organization of the area. One of the most effective means of establishing control of a scene is with the formation of a mobile command post. While there are various ways to do so, using your vehicle is a common method. For anyone looking to turn their responder vehicle into a mobile command post, here’s how to do it.

The design and structure of the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, the latest model vehicle that agencies are transitioning to, allows for it to fulfill the functions of a command post. In particular, the rear area of the SUV provides space that grants officers the use of tools like whiteboards, LCD screens, and computer docks that are important for establishing order and command. The layout of the Ford SUV also allows for greater strategic cooperation and coordination between multiple parties. 

The process of creating a mobile command post involves personalizing your vehicle so that it has the right tools. Troy Products offers a diverse lineup that sufficiently meets the operational needs of mobile field commanders looking to organize a scene. This lineup includes mid and full-size modular command posts that are compatible with a number of vehicles. These modular command posts feature a large storage drawer and vast surface area that give users the opportunity to mount necessary accessories and equipment. They also come with a full width pop-up whiteboard that gives ample space for important field notes when overseeing a critical situation.
