Cupertino OES Van Project

Last update:  April 11, 2006 

General Information

Cupertino OES has recently received a donation from the San Jose State  University Police Department of their old Police Command Post Van.  Check out the photo album for a walk-around tour.

The vehicle is a 20 ft box van built in 1983 with about 73,000 miles on it.  Last year, it was reported to have been driven only 80 miles the entire year!   Initial reports from the City of Cupertino Maintenance Yard were that it drives pretty well.

There are some specific next steps:

1.  Mechanical check-out.  Cupertino OES has authorized funding to perform a full mechanical inspection and service.  This will tell us the state of the vehicle and whether we should pursue dumping more money into it.  

2.  Confirm the mission.  So, what will the  City do with it?  Is it a Communications Van?  Command Post?  Remote EOC Support?

Stay tuned to see how this project turns out!
