Denver Post Share

grant from the National Sheriffs' Association. Arapahoe County is the first law enforcement agency in Colorado to receive the new iris scanner. More
Sheriffs cutting back on patrols
The Columbus Dispatch
Share
Some Ohio sheriffs are dealing with tight budgets by scaling back random crime patrols designed to spot trouble before it begins. Pared-down road forces are too busy handling day-to-day crimes and emergencies to routinely cruise through every community,

The Washington Post

Share
The delivery of more than three tons of
marijuana went up in smoke in what police are saying could be the largest pot bust in Pennsylvania history following a traffic stop on Interstate 81 east of Harrisburg.

Police estimate the confiscated dope would have fetched between $10 million and $25 million on the street.
