BELTON — The Bell County Sheriff’s Department might soon have another pair of eyes watching out for speeders after county commissioners supported a grant this week. The Sheriff’s Department received unanimous approval from the Commissioners Court Monday on a grant to purchase a new automatic license plate recognition system. The grant would pay for 100 percent of the system’s cost, with the county seeking about $38,000. Lt. Bobby McClinton said the grant is through the Governor’s Public Safety Office, Criminal Justice Division, and would pay for new equipment, software and training. “We currently have a speed trailer … that we can deploy throughout the county to monitor traffic conditions,” McClinton said. “The equipment that we have is very outdated and still runs on a disk-operated system prompt. There is no data collection from it, it is merely a deterrent.”
