    Specialty Warning Systems in Danbury CT recently delivered a new 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe to the Ardsley NY Police Department.
    Upfitted as a daily patrol unit the warning system is comprised of Whelen LED components including a Freedom lightbar, split red/white 400 LEDs and LINZ6s on the front and sides of the (Setina) pushbumper, an eight head Dominator in the rear cargo window, four HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights and headlight flasher. Two additional LINZ6s were added to the inside of the rear cargo compartment to provide supplemental rear warning when the cargo door is raised.
    The Havis Stout Mount console contains department radios, dual cup holder, 12V power outlets, Whelen controller and flip up armrest / printer combination. The Panasonic laptop is secured by way of a locking Havis dock, locking swing arm and tilt/swivel adapter.
    The single prisoner containment system is also provided by Setina, incorporating a passenger side prisoner compartment, polycarbonate divider and wire mesh rear barrier. Additional LED compartment lighting was added in the cargo compartment to aid in equipment retrieval at night.
    We enjoyed working with the Ardsley PD on their new patrol Tahoe, look forward to doing so again in the future on additional projects and appreciate the confidence they placed in us to provide their new unit.

    With the new Interceptors just beginning to appear in our area, and the interest they seem to be genearting, we thought we'd share this recent delivery.
    Specialty Warning Systems in Danbury CT recently delivered its first new Ford Interceptor Utility to the Wilton CT Police Department. The result of many months of transition planning with the WPD, the new Utility, assigned as the patrol sergeant’s vehicle, is the first of five Interceptors for Wilton, the remaining four being sedans, which are currently underway.
    The warning system is all Whelen LED incorporating a Liberty WeCan lightbar, Vertex HideAways in the sides of the headlight housings, four HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights, 400 series and IONs on the Setina pushbumper and a six head Dominator in the rear window.
    The center console is a Havis Interceptor specific unit containing dual cup holders, 12V power outlets, flip up armrest, Whelen controller and department radio. It also carries a Panasonic dock with a CF30 Toughbooks laptop and Zebra mobile printer.
    As patrol supervisors do not transport prisoners, there is no rear partition or containment system but a custom cargo compartment command cabinet, for scene control, is planned for the near future.
    We have enjoyed a long and co-operative working relationship with the Wilton PD, appreciate their confidence in us and look forward to providing their service and new vehicle conversions for many years to come.

    Specialty Warning Systems, in Danbury CT, recently delivered a 2012 Tahoe Chief’s vehicle to the New Hackensack Fire District, located in the Dutchess County Town of Wappinger.
    The warning system is almost exclusively Whelen including a Freedom lightbar, 700 series lightheads in the lower grille, Mirror Beams on each side mirror, split color M4s on each corner, split color Slimlighters in each rear side cargo window, LAW HideAways in the tailights and split color M4s on the rear cargo door. A linear traffic advisor above the cargo door provides supplemental rear warning as well as standard arrow direction. System control is by way of the CenCom system
    The custom cargo compartment command cabinet provides for tool and equipment storage, scene command, turnout gear, SCBA and rear communications.
    The center console is a 24” Havis which contains department communications, CenCom control head, storage box, dual cup holders, armrest, map light and scanner.
    In addition to the unique two tone paint (which New Hackensack incorporates into all their Chief’s vehicles) the exterior graphics include gold leaf, white reflective and black accent elements.
    This is the second Chiefs vehicle we’ve built for the NHFD, the first being an in service 2008 Tahoe. We have enjoyed working with the New Hackensack FD on both of them and look forward to working with them on additional projects in the future
    Look for the NHFD video on our You Tube channel in the upcoming weeks.

    Located in northeastern Westchester County, the Somers Fire Department has taken delivery of their newest Chief's vehicle, a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban.

    Serving as both a first response vehicle and incident command post, 2443 incorporates an all LED Whelen lighting system that includes a Freedom FX lightbar, 700 series and LINZ6 series Super LEDs behind the grille, M4 LEDs on each outer corner and on the rear cargo door and 4 LAW HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights. Strip Lite and LINZ6 LEDs were added in the rear cargo compartment to provide additional rear facing warning when the cargo door is raised. All six are door activated and can be temporarily disabled by way of an automatically resetting sixty second timer. A roof mounted Dominator Traffic Advisor provides direction for oncoming vehicles. A CenCom control system and Sound Off headlight flasher complete the warning system.

    A 24" Havis console contains the department and county trunk radios, Uniden scanner, cup holders, power outlets, side mount armrest, CenCom control head and storage box. The computer mount is a heavy duty Havis system which includes a multi position tilt/swivel arm and docking station for a Panasonic CF19 laptop using a roof mounted Antenna Plus Cellular/PCS/GPS antenna. An airbag option switch was installed to allow for selective deactivation of the passenger front airbag.

    The exterior graphics package incorporates gold leaf and reflective elements, the department's elephant logo on each front door and a diamond grade red and white safety chevron spanning the entire rear cargo door. Par 36 Super LED floodlights were installed under the rear of the truck and configured to operate with the OEM reverse lights to aid in backing the vehicle at night.

    The staff and crew at Specialty Warning Systems extends it's thanks to the Somers FD for their confidence in us to provide their latest Chief's Suburban, the second vehicle upfitted by SWS for the Somers FD this year. (U-5 was completed and delivered this past June). We look forward to working with them on additional projects in the future.
    Watch for the SFD 2443 video in our YouTube library in the near future.

    With the demands of the holiday season, we're a little behind in getting the photos and info on Greenwich FD's recent delivery but are correcting that now to provide a full complement of photos and info on the truck for other forum readers.
    The new Car 5 is the on duty shift commanders response vehicle and replaces it's predecessor, a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, upfitted and delivered by SWS in May of 2007. The Tahoe has been reassigned within the GFD and remains as a backup shift command vehicle or additional in the event of severe weather or incidents. The new Car 5 (a 2011 Expedition EL) is the product of much planning and many meetings to satisfy the diverse needs of the Greenwich FD.
    The warning system is, obviously, all LED incorporating a Freedom FX lightbar, eight head Dominator in the front grille, split red/white M4 Super LEDs on each outer corner, two head Dominators in each rear side cargo window and headlight flasher. The rear of the vehicle has another eight head Dominator in the cargo window, four HideAway LEDs in the taillights and split color M4s on the outside of the cargo door. The Super LED floods under the rear of the truck are configured to operate with the OEM reverse lights and provide stationary area lighting at the rear of the truck for night operations. The Whelen lighting and siren controller has the secondary amplifier to generate dual tone siren.
    The 30 inch Havis console contains GFD & Westchester County radios, map light, dual cup holder, 12V power outlets, storage box and Opticom function indicators. The Panasonic CF30 laptop is installed by way of a side mounted docking station. The cargo compartment Extendo Bed is configured to contain turnout gear, SCBA, extinguishers, IC supplies, meters and hand tools. Super LED compartment lights were added to the cargo door and interior headliner for general purpose lighting and were configured to operate with the underbody LED floods to provide overall rear utility lighting. A Kussmaul system with Auto Eject provides regulated 110 & 12V power supply to the laptop and modem when the vehicle is plugged in with a shoreline or on the road.

    With the demands of the holiday season, we're a little behind in getting the photos and info on Greenwich FD's recent delivery but are correcting that now to provide a full complement of photos and info on the truck for other forum readers.
    The new Car 5 is the on duty shift commanders response vehicle and replaces it's predecessor, a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, upfitted and delivered by SWS in May of 2007. The Tahoe has been reassigned within the GFD and remains as a backup shift command vehicle or additional in the event of severe weather or incidents. The new Car 5 (a 2011 Expedition EL) is the product of much planning and many meetings to satisfy the diverse needs of the Greenwich FD.
    The warning system is, obviously, all LED incorporating a Freedom FX lightbar, eight head Dominator in the front grille, split red/white M4 Super LEDs on each outer corner, two head Dominators in each rear side cargo window and headlight flasher. The rear of the vehicle has another eight head Dominator in the cargo window, four HideAway LEDs in the taillights and split color M4s on the outside of the cargo door. The Super LED floods under the rear of the truck are configured to operate with the OEM reverse lights and provide stationary area lighting at the rear of the truck for night operations. The Whelen lighting and siren controller has the secondary amplifier to generate dual tone siren.
    The 30 inch Havis console contains GFD & Westchester County radios, map light, dual cup holder, 12V power outlets, storage box and Opticom function indicators. The Panasonic CF30 laptop is installed by way of a side mounted docking station. The cargo compartment Extendo Bed is configured to contain turnout gear, SCBA, extinguishers, IC supplies, meters and hand tools. Super LED compartment lights were added to the cargo door and interior headliner for general purpose lighting and were configured to operate with the underbody LED floods to provide overall rear utility lighting. A Kussmaul system with Auto Eject provides regulated 110 & 12V power supply to the laptop and modem when the vehicle is plugged in with a shoreline or on the road.
    The graphics package includes red and white reflective striping and lettering, department seal on each front door and diamond grade cargo door safety chevron.
