"ARVs" are typically referred to by law enforcement agencies as being "armored rescue vehicles" with their primary use being to transport tactical officers to and from hostile situations and to assist with the recovery and protection of civilians in harm's way during terrorist threats, hostage incidents, or encounters with large gatherings of aggressors. The ARV is designed to provide protection from a variety of small arms, explosives and IED threats.
Today we had the pleasure of getting one of our ARVs serviced by our partners down at the Department of Public Works who work diligently to keep our vehicle fleet running at all times.
