The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has acquired an armored vehicle through the Law Enforcement Support Office Program (also known as the 1033 Program), which helps transfer excess military equipment to state agencies.
Meanwhile, the Lowndes County Sheriff Office also may have its eyes set on a carrier of its own.
About three weeks ago, a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) carrier was brought to the Monroe County to be used for search and rescue efforts after floods and storms, provide cover for the SWAT team in situations where suspects have barricaded themselves and potential hostage or active shooter situations.
