COP Command Emergency Response Unit


The main purpose and mission of the COP Command Emergency Response Unit are to provide on-site rapid response and support. It is a fully equipped, self-sufficient trailer that will act and serve as a mobile Emergency Response Center (EOC) that supports the emergency needs of our Police, Fire, and Civilian Emergency Response Teams (CERT) during natural, man-made, or other potential disasters that may occur. The trailer is ready for immediate activation with highly trained COP and Auxiliary members on a 24-hour basis.
