The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office S.W.A.T. Division is very proud to announce the addition of a 1996 International 4700 to be used as a medical vehicle. The truck was donated by the Hamilton County Emergency Medical Services. It is the first vehicle of this type that is totally dedicated for medical support in any tactical situation for the law enforcement arena.

The truck is fully medically supplied and staffed with paramedics who are members of the S.W.A.T team and trained in advanced life support techniques. In addition, they are under the supervision of Dr. James Creel, who is the S.W.A.T surgeon for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Hammond would like to invite the media to the West Annex located at 6233 Dayton Blvd. on Friday August 7, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. for any questions and to view the new equipment.
