police of Canada have shown off the latest addition to their crime-fighting

for the past 11 years. This new 4x4 armoured vehicle is manufactured by
the Company Navistar. |

Navistar has already
delivered International® MXT™ Armoured Personnel Carriers
(APCs) to the the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to provide increased
protection and rescue capabilities for RCMP officers and members of
the public during high-risk situations. He adds that the mobile barricade can take a pounding from projectiles, but he won’t provide any precise details about its capabilities. The SWAT team boss notes that other major police forces in Canada have similar armoured vehicles, including the RCMP, Quebec provincial police, Ontario provincial police and municipal forces in Quebec City, Ottawa and Vancouver. Houle was asked whether it would be used in demonstrations similar to the massive protests carried out by students last year. He responded that it would only be used where protection from ballistic weapons is required. |
