In a continuing effort to better serve the citizens of Lincoln County the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office acquired the use of two UTV’s (utility terrain vehicle).   In the past, Deputies would use their own equipment when they had the need for an all-terrain vehicle.    Now, thanks to the good folks at Maxwell Off-Road & Kawasaki and Kohler Trailer Sales, the Sheriff’s Office has the use of two new Teryx UTV’s at no cost to tax payers.

Recently, Sheriff Jerome Kramer became aware of a grant program Kawasaki has for Law Enforcement Agencies.    The UTV’s will be used for about a year and then turned back over to Maxwell’s.   The Sheriff’s Office will continue to receive the UTV’s as long as there is a need.  To haul the UTV’s, Bob Kohler sold the Sheriff’s Office a trailer at a much reduced rate.    The money used to purchase the trailer was federal seizer money that was taken from a drug dealer.

Sheriff Kramer will make the UTV’’s available to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Posse and other police agencies in our area.    The Sheriff’s Office plans on using the UTV’s in a multitude of ways; missing person searches, collection of evidence, assisting in crowd control at local celebrations and patrolling in game and park areas are just a few incidents they can be used for.
