The Ohio County Sheriff’s Office is set to receive an upgrade in its equipment, thanks to a $60,000 grant. Sheriff Adam Wright recently announced that this funding boost will be channeled towards acquiring new firearms and state-of-the-art body armor for his deputies. This move comes at a crucial time as many of the current vests are reportedly past their expiration. The upgrade not only promises enhanced safety for the deputies but also more operational efficiency, as it standardizes the ammunition used, reducing costs. Importantly, these improvements come at no additional burden to the local taxpayers.
