SS doesn't have A CASSPIR page, so I thought I'd post up to the 5 ton guys. This is a 2004 MkII, Made in South Africa. It has a Mercedes OM352A 5.7L Turbo Diesel, and a 5-speed manual. It's the grand-dad of Mine-proof vehicles, and has pretty heavy armor. It will withstand a triple mine explosion under a wheel (14kgs TNT) and survive.
It has air shift transfer case, and an air rear-locker. It's quite a climber, but awfully top-heavy. A local agency picked this up for their SWAT team, and I went thru the systems, drained everything, changed the filters, touched up the paint, and re-painted all the drivelines and suspension. It's not very fast, but it's a real head turner. The doors and hood are air operated, and it's right-hand steering. It's a blast to drive, can't see anything, but pretty much able to run over whatever it was you didn't see. I want one!! I drove it out in the desert today for about an hour, it's a blast!

I installed the hood ornament, it needed some bling up front..

It is a testimony to the failure of the United States criminal justice system.

As long as they go after crackheads, tweakers and the occasional "barricaded suspect" they'll be fine.

Anybody with a basic knowledge of IED's can turn one into a smoking pile of junk in a few seconds.

Or they might run into one of these:

Alot of LEOs are x-military and like the heavy weapons and vehicles they had while in active duty. So when they get a chance to get something HD with a strong intimidation factor for a really reasonable price, why not go for it?? To upfit a civilian based truck to withstand the work it might get put through would be cost prohibitive. Lets face it, if you are a normal guy in LE and you can get your hands on such a truck, wouldn't you do it too? Especially if the price is really really really excellant! Hey, isn't that what alot of us do with our MVs anyway??

I would hate to be the guy tasked with changing a flat tire out in the field- those spares look heavy and in an awkward place to wrestle around. And I'm not sure I'd really like driving from the right side- you know how hard it is to teach an old dog any new tricks. All things being equal however, I'd take one if the price was right and I had a taxpayer funded budget to work with instead of my own!
