A recent donation from the Baxter County Sheriff’s Foundation will allow the Sheriff’s Office to perform roadside identifications quicker.
Five Biometric FBI Certified portable fingerprint sensor devices will be used by Sheriff’s Patrol Deputies, Criminal Investigators and other Sheriff’s Office Personnel.
Sheriff John Montgomery explains what scenarios the devices will be used for.
