(KNZA)--The Brown County Sheriff’s Department has a new K-9 vehicle to aid in drug enforcement efforts.

According to a news release from Sheriff John Merchant, the sheriff’s office received a 2013 Chevy Tahoe from the Sac and Fox Tribe Friday.

The vehicle has about 45,000 miles, and is fully equipped with a K-9 box, heat sensors, door popper and general equipment found in a law enforcement K-9 vehicle.

Merchant says the donation will allow his department to replace their current K-9 vehicle, which has nearly 150,000 miles.

He said the Sheriff’s Office has been very blessed to have such notable community minded safety partners and the vehicle will be put to good use to assist in locating drug offenders in the county.

Merchant thanked the Sac and Fox Tribal Council for their donation.
