Pueblo Sheriff readies mobile command for warmer weather
(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) is getting ready for a busy summer by preparing its Mobile Command Vehicle for deployment in Pueblo County and the surrounding area.
PCSO said the vehicle is funded by a Department of Homeland Security Grant, supports major incidents and planned events across the South Region. It has been deployed to assist with wildland fires, officer-involved shootings, large-scale evacuations, as well as events like election security.
'We want to make sure it's out there and our partners know about it, and they can utilize it if they have an incident or a planned event in their area,' said Joshua Johnson, Emergency Management Coordinator. 'Any of our other contiguous county partners–Otero or Crowley, El Paso–if they had a need, they could certainly reach out to us here at the Sheriff's Office, and we'd be happy to share it with them.'
The Mobile Command was purchased in 2006 for $500,000, and almost 20 years later, it has just under 5,000 miles. PCSO said they are glad it is not always needed, but want to make sure everyone knows it is there when they do.
