WCPD Trailer- What's It's Purpose?

[x635 4,066]

So, every now and then, I see this trailer, marked for Westchester County PD, going north on Central Ave in Hartsdale, usually around 1500hrs. It's towed by a County Parks & Rec Chevrolet Silverado, and followed by a marked County PD unit.

What roles does this trailer serve?

(Sorry for the cruddy shot, I have to get in always while it's in heavy traffic)

Seth,

Thats a driving simulator. It was brought to my school to illustrate the effects of drunk driving. It has two "driver' seats." It is also used to teach police officer. Each seat has 3 large screen tv's in front and angled to the side to give the illusion that you are behind the wheel. Along with this, there is a emergency lights control, a PA, and a siren box. The officer controlling the computer can place the the driver in various weather conditions, day or nite, blood alcohol content, and I'm guessing flow of traffic. It's an awesome tool!
