I know it isn't NYPD but a NY City Transit armoured truck, saw a very similar NYPD one last night but no photos.

ESU 4's Lighting Truck

Surprised this thing still exists but there was some similar in a yard on 11th Ave around the 40s on July 4th. Where would it be based?

Cool shot of MALT 4! BTW its a 2002 International with a Saulsbury body.
MALT 7 is 1993 Freightliner with a Saulsbury body. This rig was delivered in the 1990's era paint scheme of a white cab roof, blue body with dual white stripes down the side.
MALT is an acronym for MOBILE AUXILIARY LIGHT TRUCK

The NYC Sheriff handles civil enforcement such as repossessions and evictions.

Anyone have a clue who made the body for the Scuba unit?
Thanks

It has a lot of Saulsbury characteristics, but there is no external builders plate on it that I could see.

Great shot. Probably my favorite NYPD truck.

There was actually 2 NYPD vans on this block hooked up. I know theres more to this pic then meets the eye, But a picture is worth a 1000 words.

I can say that is definetely NOT an OSHA-approved way to secure the van!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tisktisk.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Very neat! Where did you take the photo at and/or where is this unit kept at?

Although I don't know who built it, I did find an awesome replica of it! :

It's amazing all the trucks ESU has that I didn't know existed!

It is kept at the NYPD "Harbor Charlie/SCUBA" base in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (1st Av./58th St.).

What in the world would NYC Transit need an armoured truck for?
Carrying around all that money from the fees?? hehehehe

That is exactly why they have them. The METRA rail in the Chicago area has one that is manned by a driver and Police officer.

Neat models! I wonder why the scuba team lettering was taken off the real vehicle, unless the model is inaccurate, which I find hard to believe with all the detail work that was done to it.
