Thanks to a donation from Clinton Exelon Nuclear Power Station, the DeWitt County Sheriff's Office will be able to patrol County roads better than they already do.
Sheriff Jered Shofner indicates thanks to a contribution from Exelon, they were able to purchase a pair of state of the art radar detectors that will allow them to better monitor traffic, especially in higher volume areas, like the Power Station.
The new technology allows a deputy out to accurately single out a vehicle. The Sheriff indicates it's a new laser technology available to law enforcement.
The Sheriff indicates those have been in service for about two weeks but they purchased the radars about a month ago. He says getting his staff trained on the new equipment took about two weeks.
