Toole County Sheriff's Dept. has just taken delivery on two new Dodge Durangos. This adds to the Durangos that the dept. has had for some time now. These SUVs give more off road ability than the other patrol vehicles which are Chevrolet Impala sedans. The department was given these new Durangos by Homeland Security through Border Patrol for participation in "Operation Stone Garden." Operation Stone Garden is a local federally funded program where Homeland Security and Toole County Sheriff dept. patrol the north Toole County border with Canada. By cooperating, Toole County Sheriff dept. gets "goodies" such as enhanced computers, patrol vehicles and much more. One such item is the new "LIVESCAN" fingerprinting system being installed in the county jail. Under-sheriff, Mike Lamey was reported in the Shelby Promoter as saying, "The CAD system will allow us to have better command and control in any incident occurring in the county and the LIVESCAN will allow us instant access and identification of people and suspects by the FBI fingerprint database." "Fuel, vehicle maintenance, wages, everything is covered by the federal dollars with no local tax dollars being spent on this operation," also reported Lamey.
