Sheriff’s Mobile Disaster Command Posts Debut
From Times Staff Reports
Hoping to better prepare county law enforcement agencies for a terrorist incident or natural disaster, the Sheriff’s Department rolled out two mobile command trailers Wednesday.
The custom 53-foot expandable trailers will be used as communication centers in case of terrorism, extreme civil unrest, earthquakes, floods or major fires. The trailers will be available to all the county’s police departments. Both vehicles contain 10 dispatch and communications stations and separate operations and command rooms.
