SNOW HILL – Officials approved the purchase of an armored rescue vehicle for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office this week.
The Worcester County Commissioners on Wednesday voted 4-3 to spend $321,833 on an armored rescue vehicle for the sheriff’s office. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, who voted against the purchase, questioned how often the vehicle would be used.
“I don’t think it’s a wise use of county taxpayers’ money,” Mitrecic said.
An armored rescue vehicle has been requested by Sheriff Matt Crisafulli since at least 2021, as he’s described it as something that could be used by law enforcement during hurricanes as well as when there were unruly crowds in Ocean City. While the funding was cut from the county’s budget in previous years, the budget approved by the commissioners last month included $324,000 for the purchase of the rescue vehicle.
Mitrecic told his peers Wednesday he’d talked to Crisafulli about it and didn’t support buying the vehicle.
Ya’ll bunch a dumbasses. You haven’t got rid of the boat yet! What the hell does Slow Hill need an armoured car for? You need to get out there and stop all the prostitution and drugs, in that town.
Ted Elder and Joe Mitrecic are the only one with brains on that council! Every one else caved into the School Resource Officer who has no clue how to be a real police officer!
To an angry crowd, nothing says “Hello” better than an APC.
idiots! if, if, if? you know they say about if’s. total bullshit and over militarization of police!
Unbelievable! Is anyone thinking about investigating possible kickbacks that might be associated with this boondoggle?
Probably not, but even without a legal investigation and subpoenas it will be easy enough to look and see which of the Commissioners buy new cars or spruce up their houses.
They could have gotten one free from the military! Dumb A$$ES!!
Well Super Sheriff in Wicomico will want some too !!!!! 50 cal on top !!! With radar !!!!
Wicomico County has had a military MRAP for years 4:25.
So what if it free. NOTHING IS FREE. And yes it is over militarization of a local police force..bet you tax dollars will be applied going forward to maintain, field, fuel,man, and, arm and of course the slush fund set up for pillaging
