Bomb Response in New Jersey
July 1, 2004
Adding to its Odyssey Emergency Services Unit of Wharton, N.J., the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department in New Jersey chose Odyssey to build its new Bomb Response Unit. Based on a Ford F-650 chassis with an 18-foot aluminum apparatus walk-in body, this unit is ready for business. The front-end sports an Odyssey NYPD-style front bumper with a wrap around Teflon face. There is a side entry door, generator and cable access door and a custom compartment on the side with a custom ramp for their robot to deploy. In addition, a special hatch in the side allows the robot to connect to the vehicle and terminate at the control desk inside. The inside is equipped with heavy-duty compartments with adjustable shelves and roll up doors, high security drawers for weapons and sensitive supplies and equipment and a control desk for operations. A special insulated compartment keeps special film from being effected by hot or cold temperatures. By the control desk, there is a large flat screen monitor wired to a VCR, a rear body camera and the robot-mounted camera.
