The purchase of two used vehicles from a McDonough auto dealer for the department’s special services division was approved, at a cost of $44,190 with the money coming from a federal seized funds account.

The commissioners also voted to accept a $6,563.82 donation from Cops Direct and Tactical Medical Equipment to assist the SWAT team by providing needed life-saving equipment. Both actions were unanimous. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
