Yes, however, it's replacing MA28 so it should have the same uses.

Edit: If you read the 1st post, It states it's uses (Medical, Brush, Rescue).

That is a Sierra Pacific Infrared Multi-Sensor Imager, equipped with FLIR technology. So it can be used as a CCTV or Thermal Imaging Camera. It was not provided by the Police. The Police purchased 2 of them, and were not able to mount the 2nd one. It was then given to the FD, for use. This has multiple uses well beyond searching for a missing person. Just another tool that the VA Fire Department has in it's arsenal!
