Kanawha County Sheriff's Department To Get New Pistols And Cruisers
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha County deputies will soon have new firearms at their sides and a few new vehicles after the Kanawha County Commission voted to take $62,000 from their capital outlay account to pay for 120 new guns. The department plans to purchase Springfield .45 pistols. The department is kicking in an additional $10,000 to $15,000 to pay for upgrades like night vision. The department also plans to purchase 11 new vehicles including seven 4-wheel drives and four new Dodge Charger cruisers. The four cruisers will cost $88,000, which will come from a Public Safety Grant and the department's Pistol Fund and will be on the road in the next few weeks. Chief Deputy John Rutherford says they plan to wait a couple more months to purchase the 4-wheel drives to allow time to test several models.
