In 2019, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of this mobile command vehicle, citing the need to replace an outdated unit that was over 20 years old and no longer met the demands of modern emergency management. The total estimated cost for the new vehicle was $391,864.56, funded by the Rural Counties Special Revenue Fund. TriVan Truck Body was selected as the sole-source provider due to its proprietary “Snap Lock” panel wall system and expertise in custom vehicle fabrication .​

The Sheriff’s Office has utilized this vehicle for various critical incidents, including SWAT callouts and as a mobile command post during emergencies. Its design allows for rapid deployment and efficient coordination during complex operations .​

TriVan Truck Body, based in Washington state, specializes in building custom law enforcement vehicles, including mobile command centers and SWAT units. Their collaboration with the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office underscores a commitment to enhancing public safety through advanced technology and specialized equipment.
