Yes sir, Chief! And it is indeed what it says it is, a Mobile Command Post, one of the "smaller" ones at that. They do have marked and unmarked bread trucks/step vans which is why I was looking for the picture. The Command Posts are all marked pretty clearly as such. There are some marked trucks which may have nothing more than just the vehicle number and command abbreviation which would be a clue as to what it is used for/who it's assigned to.

NYPD has a "unmarked" Bell 412 silver/gray in color with maroon strips. I think it has a winch also. Perhaps that is what you saw?

Made the trek down to the SOD/ESU Annual Rememberance Day at Floyd Bennett. As usual a great time with SOD units putting on demos for those attending. A few 'new' restored NYPD cars showed up. Trucks were not set up well for photos, but I did try to get some.



First up is ESS Truck 7 1998 Mack MC/Saulsbury

Next up are a couple of 2008 Ford F-550/Odessey body R.E.P.'s

Here is one of 7 Trucks REP's that arrived just as we were getting ready to pack it in.



Note that the vehicle number now has the year of the rig in smaller numbers as part of the fleet ID.



Anyone know how many 2008 REPS they did receive in total?
