(KLZA)-- Richardson County Sheriff Don Pounds has written a letter, addressed to Community Partners in an attempt to raise funds for new Tasers and body cameras for Richardson County Sheriff Deputies.
Sheriff Pounds says “ sometime it requires action to keep one’s community quiet and peaceful.”
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking help from local businesses, foundations and community groups to help with the purchase of this equipment. The Sheriff’s Office is in the process of seeking Federal and State grants to help with the purchase of the needed tools, however local help is still needed to make the purchases possible.
Currently deputies are using outdated Taser devices that were donated, used by other departments several years ago. The units cannot be fixed if damaged as they are no longer being serviced by Taser International.
Deputies also do not have body camera’s and are in need of this new technology for the protection of the deputies as well as the public.
Donations can be made to: Richardson County Sheriff’s Office, 1700 Stone Street.
The Sheriff’s Office thanks the public for their support of local law enforcement and considering the request for assistance.
