What exactly did I do for you to make that connection? How in any sense could my justifications for LE use of MRAPs lead to your declaring I'm nothing more than a "mall ninja?" Nice cheap shot. Completely uncalled for, but nice cheap shot nonetheless. So, in your estimation, why do LE...

Typically they would be used as rolling cover during a high-risk search warrant (where the suspect is known to be armed, etc..), and for emergency evacuation under fire for wounded officers & civilians. In an active shooter situation, especially one involving a school (Columbine, VA-Tech...

Price is the main sticking point with commercial armored trucks; for nearly the same cost, you could have a purpose-built armored truck built instead. Used commercial armored trucks are pretty pricey as well, and are mostly used up.

It looks GREAT! Thanks for the photos!

What's your source for this statistic?

Nice sarcastic come-back, and NO, I don't work SWAT. I'm no badass, I just do my job because it's what I do...I've never been a medal-chaser. I've served more than my share of search warrants & been shot at & been in too many dangerous situations in more than my 20 years of LE experience. I...

Too true. As I stated above, I only have a few years left before retiring, and I fear for the younger officers who currently & will have to face escalating threats in the coming years. Society is becoming more violent, and more reckless. The chances of these vehicles being misused are pretty...

All too true, thank you for your service as well. We are in fact encountering many homemade IEDs & EFPs, as well as heavier weaponry, and the Mexican cartels are becoming much more active & prevalent throughout nearly every state.

I wish I lived in your world...I guess you've never been shot at nor had dynamite thrown at you. Just because you don't hear/see it reported on the evening news doesn't mean that it's not happening. It DOES happen in fact, and getting shot at is becoming a daily occurrence. LEOs DO have a...

SWEET!! Thanks for the photos, that rig looks NICE! Interesting to note that the paint doesn't appear to be non-reflective, but I don't know of any non-federal LE agencies that have that requirement. I'm very happy to see it being re-purposed here in the USA and not cut up for scrap or turned...

LOL, I understand, no problem...I'm sure that your fellow members in the parade were happy with your dedication & hard work.

Any pics?

Nice score! Those old Peacekeepers are well past their prime...my department got rid of them to replace with Bearcats (on federal grants) since they were always breaking down. Don't see any MRAPs in our future as we're pretty well stocked, but you never know. Stay safe!
