Will County Sheriffs Tacticool Truck??
Found this pic on FB.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater
Totally disagree with the use of the SF DUI on their OD GREEN emergency vehicle,, with ram front bumper, black-out windows, and possibly firing ports??
Talk about TOTALLY TACTICOOL BS.
Do we have anyone in the AO that might verify that the truck belongs to Will County Sheriffs Office, Joliet IL.
I think they need to be encourage to fix it..

Many new Lenco type armored vehicle do have firing ports. This vehicle looks like a converted fire truck so those "gun port" looking things are most likely not gun ports but various power connectors etc... That observation is based solely on the picture you posted. In terms of the SF crest or any military crest being on a police vehicle....just poor judgement IMO.

Sheriff Dept's SWAT team - they call it a Special Operations Group and state it has been around since 1984. Maybe an original member or two were ex-SF, or the group liked the 'DOL' motto or whatever because of their mission to free hostages and such.
Who knows, but it'll be interesting to hear their responses to any inquiries about it.

I don't think there are firing ports. I believe the truck is meant to be a mobile command center, not a troop carrier or assault vehicle.
I also disagree with the use of the DUI.
