News and News Releases

New technology has been added to each of our patrol units to improve our communications, safety, productivity, and service to our community. MDCs allow deputies better and faster access to information to enhance investigative capabilities and improve officer safety. Deputies are now able to run registrations, driver's licenses, criminal histories, arrest warrants, protection orders, and various other documents and images instantly from the patrol car. Deputies can also use the MDCs to access email, write reports, and complete accident investigations. Electronic citations, which are now being required, are also completed and printed in the patrol car. Electronic citations are then uploaded by the County Attorney's Office, making the process more timely and efficient.

MACH, a program that helps to coordinate, dispatch, and track officers from different agencies, is also a key part of the new technology and is a major improvement to officer safety. MACH also allows multiple agencies to share intelligence, rapidly improving community safety and response times.
