Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that it is expanding its fleet of covertly equipped traffic enforcement vehicles using a grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
The two newly acquired vehicles, purchased with the $110,000 grant, will be used to improve safety on public roads and highways, according to an MCSO release.
The expanded fleet will help deputies with speed, reckless driving, street racing, DUI and aggressive driving enforcement, the release stated.
“There is no price on protecting lives, and deputies remain committed to using all the tools at their disposal to keep Maricopa County residents safe on the roads,” said Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone.
“We are grateful for GOHS’ continued partnership with MCSO through these grant opportunities that ultimately aid deputies in protecting our community.”
The vehicles also will be used to support deputies in Valleywide DUI task forces, according to MCSO.
