prevent and control crime. By allocating the requested funds for this purchase, hopefully <br />the Bureau of Justice Assistance will determine this vehicle is a necessary and crucial <br />purchase in Lamar County's capacity to prevent and control crime in its 894 square mile <br />rural jurisdiction. Sheriff's Office vehicles average about 120,000 miles per vehicle per <br />year. The reliability of a vehicle is a concern for an officer responding to a call or providing <br />day or night patrol of the area. <br />It is our hope the Office of Justice Programs will support our request to enhance the Lamar <br />County, Texas, local law enforcement effort. Truly, the proposed purchase will significantly <br />strengthen our County's criminal justice system's ability to prevent and control crime by <br />prioritizing and placing justice funds where they are needed most in our community, and a <br />vehicle is what the Lamar County Sheriffs Office needs most for the coming year. <br />- 000179 <br />
