FOP 86 President Rick Snyder envisioned the ARK as a mobile food and support trailer that responds when it is needed most. The ARK is deployed to critical incidents involving injured officers, large-scale emergencies, and catastrophic events such as the 2026 flooding. It provides hot food, coffee, water, and other basic necessities to first responders and citizens affected by an emergency. The ARK also provides a safe, welcoming place for people to sit, rest, regroup, and recharge during long and difficult situations. By bringing essential resources directly to the scene, the ARK serves as a tangible expression of FOP 86’s commitment to supporting law enforcement officers and the communities they serve—providing care, comfort, and assistance when it is needed most.
