Santa Monica Police Department chose a Freightliner M2 conventional cab chassis with three slide out rooms as the platform for their mobile command unit. It features a 350HP engine and Allison 3000 EVS automatic transmission with PTO provision. The police department chose to incorporate three flat-floor slide-out rooms to increase the interior space of their mobile command center.
A large conference room is located in the front with seating for six or more with a Smart overlay that can be easily cordoned off. The access door to the unit is in front of the galley which is home to an electronics racking and cafe style check station. The mobile command center's rear features four large communication workstations. Solid surface countertops have been installed for added durability.
The exterior of the vehicle features a weatherproof exterior workstation with A heavy-duty non-locking telescoping pneumatic mast is located on the rear of the vehicle with camera system. HVAC is handled by three low-profile air conditioners and three wall-mount electric heaters. A heavy-duty fully automatic one-touch leveling system ensures the vehicle sits level while at a scene. To provide coverage to those working outside at the exterior workstation or accessing storage compartments, an electric lateral arm awning has been installed.
