Berkeley County Gets a High‑Tech Emergency Command Vehicle

Berkeley County just rolled out a brand‑new mobile command vehicle worth $1. 25 million. It replaces a 20‑year‑old unit that lacked the tech for big emergencies. The sheriff says this upgrade changes how deputies act when every second matters. The truck was built over two years and packs a lot of gear. It includes screens that can draw maps of the area, radios that let commanders see exactly where each deputy is, a drone that can fly and send live video, and communication links for many agencies. When a big search is underway, the command center shows each deputy’s spot on a big screen, lets leaders draw search lines, and brings in help from state or federal teams. The vehicle also gives dispatchers a spot to work right at the scene, cutting down on radio traffic and letting info flow faster. It can be used at hurricanes, floods, or even at big festivals where crowds gather. The $1. 25 million came from a state fund secured in 2024 by the county’s lawmakers, so the county didn’t pay local money. Deputy supervisor Angela Pinson praised the sheriff’s office for getting the resource and said it helps everyone in Berkeley County. The sheriff adds that it will change the way they do things from now on.
