Assessment[edit]

Is there any operational history on this? It's been in service I would expect info on what the vehicle is doing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If it doesn't exist, no sweat, I'll upgrade to a B. --Molestash (talk) 00:54, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only aware that it's used in operational deployments like deploying officers to places where suspects can shoot them and for exhibits. Nothing special. That's all I know. Ominae (talk) 01:11, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
