The Brown County Sheriff’s Office has a new K-9 vehicle to aid in drug enforcement efforts.
The sheriff’s office on Friday, received a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe from the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska.
Sheriff John Merchant said the vehicle has around 45,000 miles and is fully equipped with a K-9 box, heat sensors, door popper and general equipment that would be found in a law enforcement K-9 vehicle.
“This generous donation will allow us to replace our current K-9 vehicle which has nearly 150,000 miles,” Merchant said. “The Brown County Sheriffs Office has been very blessed to have such notable community minded safety partners and this vehicle will be put to good use to assist in locating drug offenders in our county.”
