Universal Specialty Vehicles, Inc. attended the annual COPSWEST conference at the Ontario Convention Center November 16th and 17th. The COPSWEST expo gathers over 300 renowned vendors offering products and services to law enforcement agencies. Aside from the vendors on the main floor, COPSWEST also hosts presentations with guest speakers knowledgeable in several different fields within law enforcement.

For over 17 years Universal Specialty Vehicles has built custom units for several Police and Sherriff Departments in various cities and counties throughout the United States. At our booth, we were able to display photos of previously built units, which allowed for attendees to appreciate the craftsmanship of our work and unique designs catered to each client.

It was a pleasure greeting familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. Our attendance at this conference has been a very positive one in a welcoming atmosphere. After participating for over 15 years, Universal Specialty Vehicles looks forward to being a part of the experience again in 2011.

The San Bernardino Sherriff’s Department was asked to display their new 35’ Command Operations Fifth Wheel trailer. The trailer was open to attendees and many toured the interior. According to John Amrhein, the Emergency Service Coordinator, the comments were all favorable and he enjoyed his experience at COPSWEST.

On October 8-10 NASCAR came to the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.  As you can imagine, the crowd was large and eager to see some good racing.  The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Law Enforcement Branch was responsible for the safety and security of all the race fans in attendance.

Security at an event like this is no easy task and it takes the dedication of many law enforcement personnel.  It also take many dedicated volunteer’s that give a great deal of their time to ensure safety to all.  The weekend begins long before any green flag is dropped and the logistics involved are enormous.

When the City of San Bernardino needed a new command vehicle it was no surprise they turned to Universal Specialty Vehicles, Inc. Universal and the City of San Bernardino have a long history of working together. As soon as Universal was asked to build this unit they began working meticulously to meet all of San Bernardino’s specifications. The end result was a state of the art 36’ Mobile Command Vehicle.
