Sheriff’s Office adds vehicles to fleet
Special to the News
The Coosa County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicles have taken on a new look.
Sheriff Michael Howell stated that the Sheriff’s Office was able to purchase four new vehicles this year. He says this was made possible because of numerous reasons.
He said he was able to apply for a grant and receive some funding to help make this possible. He states he has a strict budget, but was able to make changes and save money in order to purchase the vehicles.
“The vehicle fleet for the Sheriff’s Office has had some issues,” Sheriff Howell said. “We have vehicles that have more than 200,000 miles on them. We have had a lot of mechanical problems, as well.”
“I’d also like to thank the Coosa County Commission for helping the Sheriff’s Office purchase and equip our new patrol vehicles,” Howell added. “This will help our county out tremendously. We will save money on maintenance, and it will also provide our deputies with a safer vehicle that is more dependable.”
