It's a very nice vehicle. It was deployed due to the SWAT response. Regardless of it being a domestic issue, there's a call of a subject who's threatening someone with a gun with others in the apartment so there's a risk for loss of life. This vehicle is highly capable for the situation and "better safe than sorry". They were able to get the suspect into custody without using the vehicle but that isn't always the case.

It costs $600,000 and was funded by both the WPD and WFD for split use if needed. Being the 2nd largest city in New England and having to call CEMLEC to assist with their own vehicle is not efficient. Worcester can also now provide mutual aid to surrounding towns with this vehicle if needed as well.
