Am certain you're savvy enough to know they would.

Every Memorial Day & Independence Day and at the county's local gathering in the park for "Nat'l LE Night Out" (with other first responder groups, SKYWARN, and local citizenry with their little kids etc. on hand to watch an overweight tacti-cool bunch throw a flashbang next to a schoolbus), and going down main streets behind the VFW's Color Guard, someone can check a box for "MRAP Deployed." Freestuff - yeah, baby!
