Gulfstream Travel Trailer

       In 2007 Colonial Regional Police Department purchased a Gulfstream Travel Trailer from P.E.M.A. for $4,500.00.  These trailers were originally bought by F.E.M.A. to house the victims of Hurricane Katrina.  The Federal Government put the excess trailers up for sale to public emergency organizations at a discounted price.

       The travel trailer will be used as a Command Post in any event that should arise.  It was used at a D.U.I. Checkpoint in 2007 and proved to be a valuable asset.
