What was once a Book Mobile has now become the Urban Assault Vehicle for the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department. It's amazing what can be done with ASSETS owned by a CITY or County. The City of Salisbury likes to SURPLUS everything from mop handles all the way to buildings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Rather than keeping items worth while and showing some vision, the City of Salisbury has clearly shown they are not open minded and they do not value items worth money.
Remember that Fire Truck I offered $2,500.00 for and Chief See told me that unless I offered $5,000.00 plus, they weren't selling it? They cut that Fire Truck in half and put it inside the new $10,000,000.00 Fire Station.
Kudos to Rick Pollitt, The Wicomico County Library System and the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department! This is a group headed in the right direction!
This should have been put on a segment of 'Pimp my Ride'!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice piece of equipment for the Sheriff's Dept. Kudo's for another job well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to that so called "command vehicle" that the county let the 911 center/emergency management buy? What a waste of tax dollars, oops I meant to say grant money!! Grant money or tax dollars it is all the same. We, the tax payers have to pay for it. Joe, if you get a chance to hunt it down try to get some pics of it. Those morons went out and bought a light weight camper and converted it to a "command vehicle" that is hardly ever used. They make real command vehicles for a lot less than they paid for the camper. Does anyone know how much it is costing the tax payers to maintain that camper, I mean command vehicle? Enquiring Taxpayers want to know!
I think Mike Lewis is doing a great job, however have to disagree on this second command unit. Should utilize the one that was already built by Emergency Services. If he had funds to put more "law enforcement" equipment on it that is a great idea. Two vehicles to maintain, fuel, repair, (replace rotten tires) as I am sure neither will go on many calls is crazy. One vehicle would serve the whole county.
ReplyDeleteIf there were personnel obsticles, etc. bring them to the attn of Mr. Pollitt and let him handle them.
Again , agree with the concept just not the two vehciles....egos need to be put away and serve the public.
