A new mobile command vehicle will allow the Community Oriented Response Unit of the London Police Service to respond to, and coordinate, investigations of large scale emergencies and more effectively assist in the search for missing persons throughout the community.

The vehicle, which was funded through the Attorney General's Civil Remedies Grant Program, will also act as a satellite police facility that can travel to incidents throughout the London area. Instead of having to go back to the station, police officers will be able to review evidence, hold confidential meetings, write reports and give direction from a centralized location.

The grant program, created under the Civil Remedies Act, allows money to be taken out of the hands of wrongdoers and used to support the prevention of unlawful activity and victimization.
