The off-road pods are heated, lighted and feature a prisoner secured seat that can be removed if the pod is being used by a patient.
RCMP say the pods will also be used for remote accidents, storms and crime scene investigations.
The pods were introduced at the 70th Annual Trapper’s Festival Parade on Feb. 15.
