When we said drug abuse needs to be looked at from a medical perspective, this isnât what we had in mind:

Med Life Ambulance Service has donated a used ambulance to serve as an enforcement vehicle for narcotics agents.

Ok, rule number one for conducting narcotics investigations from an ambulance: don't tell everyone about it beforehand. I can't think of anything less discrete than doing a stakeout in a gigantic ambulance. Especially now that the ambulance is famous.
Moreover, ambulances with always be better equipped to help people with drug problems than tactical narcotics vehicles.
