PALATKA, Fla. – They’ve done it again.
A dynamic mother-daughter duo with a love for police dogs has raised enough funding to equip each of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office K-9 vehicles with life-saving heat sensory equipment.
Local mom Debbie Johnson and her daughter Emma were able to visit the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday to see the state-of-the-art technology in action.
Putnam County Sheriff Gator DeLoach said the gift is a huge upgrade for their department.
“We actually have the ability to transmit that data real-time to our deputy’s cell phones now which is of critical importance because, as you can imagine, there’s nothing that I can think of that’s worse than having an air conditioner that goes out in a car,” DeLoach said.
