2011 Chevy Tahoe

   The Darien PD has placed a new patrol Tahoe in service replacing it’s Crown Victoria predecessor.

   As with all other DPD fleet vehicles, the warning system is 100% Whelen LED incorporating a Liberty lightbar, a six head Dominator mounted behind the grille (and the Go Rhino pushbumper), 4 inch round TIR6s in the front driving light housings, red/blue M4s on each outer bumper corner, TIR3s in each side passenger window, Slimlighters in each rear side cargo window, LAW HideAways in the rear tailights and an Outer Edge above the cargo window.

   A 12” Havis Stout Mount console contains the department radio, CenCom control head, cup holders, armrest, power outlets and mounts for the Data 911 display and keyboard.

   The custom storage cabinet was designed to contain EMS gear, traffic control equipment, fire extinguishers, investigative supplies and hand tools.  Prisoner containment includes a full front partition, rear cargo barrier, transport seat, full door panels and polycarb window armor.

   The existing department Crown Victoria graphics package was modified and adapted to the Tahoe and includes gradient reflective lettering and striping, rear bumper safety chevron and department seal on each door. 

   The North Salem PD has recently taken delivery of their latest patrol vehicle, a 2011 slicktop Crown Victoria.  Specialty Warning Systems has been providing upfitting and repair services to the North Salem PD for many years and we are appreciative of the continued support and confidence placed in us by the NSPD.

   Being a slicktop there is no roof mounted lightbar.  To assure adequate front & rear lighting, a Whelen Inner Edge interior lightbar was installed in both the front and rear windows.  There is an additional Inner Edge traffic advisor installed in the lower rear window to provide traffic direction to rear oncoming vehicles.  Other components included in the warning system are LED Mirror Beams, dual level 400 series lights in the front grille, two LAW HideAways in the front corner lights and four more in the rear taillights, comprise the visual warning system.  Two LINZ6s are also installed in the trunk to provide rear facing warning whenever the trunk lid is raised.

     The center console is a 17” Havis Angled Series which contains the department radio, Whelen lighting / siren controller, scanner, cup holders, power outlets, armrest and OEM AM/FM/CD radio, which was relocated to accommodate the Data 911 computer display.

     Prisoner containment is by way of a Setina barrier while the outside graphics, in green reflective striping and lettering, matches 361 to the rest of the NSPD fleet.

 Specialty Warning Systems delivered a 2011 Chevy Tahoe to the South Salem Fire Department.  South Salem is located in Westchester County, just over the CT / NY border.  Designated 2451, and assigned to the Chief of the department, the new vehicle is the third upfitted by Specialty Warning Systems for the South Salem FD.

As with most of the vehicles upfitted by SWS today, 2451 incorporates a 100% Whelen LED based warning system, with a Liberty lightbar, red 700s and red/white LINZ6s in the front grille, red/white M4s on each outer corner, Mirror Beams, eight head Dominator in the rear cargo window and four LAW HideAways in the rear tailights.  Four LED compartment lights were installed at the rear of the truck to provide cargo compartment and area lighting.

  A custom built Command / Storage cabinet was installed in the rear cargo compartment which incorporated a communications compartment, space for turnout & SCBA, three open storage compartments, a hanging file drawer and slide out command drawer with marking whiteboard and clear overlay.

  A 10” Havis vehicle specific console contains the department and County radios, Whelen SLSA6 controller and dual power outlets.

  Vehicle graphics include white reflective striping and safety chevron along with gold leaf lettering and department maltese cross.

  Our thanks to the SSFD for the opportunity to provide their new Chief’s vehicle.  We look forward to working with them in the years to come, on additional projects.

2010 Ford Expedition Medic Vehicle

   A 2010 Expedition Special Service Vehicle, our seventh medic intercept vehicle for Westchester EMS, was delivered and placed into service recently.

   Incorporating Whelen LED components, the warning system includes a Freedom lightbar, split red / white 400 Super LEDs on each front outer corner and on the front of the Go Rhino pushbumper.  To provide additional intersection warning, two red / white TIR6s, are installed at opposing angles, inside the pushbumper.  Red / blue dual Talons were mounted in the rear side cargo windows, two more red / white TIR6s placed on either side of the rear license plate while an eight head Dominator was installed on the rear roof, above the cargo door.  As the primary lightbar, and the rear Dominator are both blocked when the cargo door is in the raised position, two rear facing four head Dominators are included inside the cargo compartment, activated by the rear door, that provide supplemental warning to vehicles approaching from the rear.  Two red and two white LAW HideAways are installed in the rear tailights with a headlight flasher and Whelen 295HFS4 with secondary (dual) siren amplifier, HOWLER and two 100 watt siren speakers completing the overall system.

   As WEMS responds regularly to limited access roadways and operating in these environments is becoming more hazardous than ever, they made the proactive decision to add an additional multi level lightbar to the rear of the vehicle to provide the greatest degree of visibility at the longest distance.  The McDermott High Riser incorporates a total of 28 LEDs on the front, rear and sides of the arms, affording 360 degree visibility when the arms are raised.

   A remote controlled Go Light spotlight is installed in front of the Freedom lightbar for assistance in low light conditions.

   The 30 inch Havis console contains the Whelen lighting / siren control head, HOWLER controls, department radios, dual 12V power outlets, internal cup holder, armrest and nine inch storage box.  An “arms raised” audible alarm and warning light for the McDermott bar were added to the side of the console to provide clear warning to the operator that the arms had been raised.  The color LCD display for the Safety Vision rearview camera system, was also installed on the console on a custom bracket, activating in conjunction with a backup alarm and two (of four) halogen floodlights mounted under the rear bumper.  Collectively, this provides a safer means by which the driver can operate the vehicle when backing up.

   The custom rear cabinet provides storage for ALS and BLS response equipment, turnout gear, hand tools, safety supplies and vehicle equipment.  Four LED utility lights are installed in the rear cargo compartment, that work in co-operation with the remaining two halogen floodlights under the rear of the vehicle, to provide sufficient nighttime lighting for equipment retrieval and rear vehicle safety during low light operations.  Extending into the second row seating position, two compartments are provided for additional scene management supplies, personal gear and safety equipment.  A Pro Gard cargo barrier (custom fit to the cabinet) is installed between the cargo compartment and second row seating position to contain equipment stored in the cargo compartment in the event of a collision.

   Additional components include a Kussmaul battery conditioner with Auto Eject shoreline connection, a 110V duplex outlet inside the truck, 800 amp jump system and Go Rhino pushbumper with full headlight wraps.

   The exterior graphics are fully reflective, mirroring the layout of other fleet vehicles, now incorporating a blue and yellow safety chevron covering the entire rear of the vehicle.

   Specialty Warning Systems has enjoyed a very co-operative and proactive working relationship with Westchester EMS for many years, 4012 being the seventh Medic unit we’ve completed for them.  We appreciate their confidence in us to provide their intercept vehicles and look forward to the future and working with them on additional vehicles.
