SAR Group Honors Sheriff

Nancy Locke of SWPANSAR (Southwest Panhandle Search and Rescue) presented a Certificate of Appreciation on January 21, 2010 to Sheriff Wendell Hall of the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office for his support of their team. The Sheriff's Office donated a boat, motor and trailer for their training use.  The boat will be critical for training Human Remains Detection K9's on the water.  The impact of the donation will go beyond their use as it will also allow them to participate in the development and testing of national standards for HRD Water testing.  The department also donated radios, which are greatly needed, and bullet resistant vests to add to their safety equipment.
