The NCSO Deputies will have a somewhat different look in the coming weeks.
Navarro County Sheriff Elmer Tanner stated in a release last week, “As we continue to evolve into advanced technology at the NCSO, we are currently transitioning into a newer and much more highly advanced body camera recording system for our agency. The new system by Utility offers many advantages and technological advances from our current system.”
NCSO will also begin the implementation of new technology in 10 patrol vehicles in the form of Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR). Sheriff Tanner continued, “The ALPR system is beneficial to law enforcement as it acts as a tool that actively looks for stolen vehicles, vehicles associated with outstanding warrants, or law enforcement alerts affiliated to a vehicle license plate.
It was also added as part of the transition for our enforcement officers, they will now be seen wearing outer carriers for their bullet proof vests. This uniform transition has many advantages including comfort which is always welcomed during the summer months with the amount of equipment that has to be worn.
These changes we have been diligently and steadily working on will no doubt have a positive impact on our enforcement operations in the future.
