In New York City ,the smaller trucks are known as REP's (Radio Emergency Patrol)

They respond to numerous types of situations, there main function is SWAT.

Other assignments they respond to - EDP calls, search and recovery of evidence, vehicle extrication, hostage situation, barricaded subjects, search for perps. jumpers. scene lighting etc.

There motto is - When the people need help they call the police, when the police need help they call for Emergency Service.
