He alone has issued over 200 DUI’s in 2006 and 2007 combined.
Our department over the past year has established a Special Response Team (SRT). This team consists of 8 Officers . This team will respond to any high risk situations. Over the past year this team has trained very hard on different types of scenarios to insure accuracy when called out.
All new Radio and 911equipment have been installed along with up-to-date consoles for our communications room. The communications radio system has been upgraded from High-Band to 800. All patrol units have also been upgraded to 800 for complete county wide interoperability.
We have recently installed in car video camera systems in all of our patrol units. This will help in collecting evidence in crimes for court. We are still working on getting computer systems in the units, which would help with response time and also help with the amount of time Officers, are on the streets.
