BOX 608 <br />PHONE 869.6700 <br />March 24, 1986 <br />R.T."TIM" DOBECK • INDIAN R-rvER COUNTY <br />MEMBER FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION <br />MEMBER OF NATIONAL SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION <br />VERO DFACII. FLORIDA 32961 <br />Honorable Doug Scurlock, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Doug: <br />Please find enclosed the price list of equipment needed to immediate- <br />ly complete outfitting our Emergency Response Team. Our concept is <br />to have two (2), five (5) men teams, so that we may have a full com- <br />pliment of five (5) personnel, at all times, taking into considera- <br />tion days off, sick time and vacation. Although, the bottom line <br />seems initially high, the bulk of this equipment will be a one (1) <br />time purchase. <br />Since its inception, the Emergency Reasponse Team has been responsi- <br />ble for the safe apprehension of four (4) barracaded, armed suspects. <br />We also have utilized this response team on an average of five (5) <br />times per month since its inception; in searches involving elderly <br />people, young children, lost boaters on Blue Cypress, the river and <br />the ocean. And more recently, have utilized this team for the <br />special arrest purposes for multi -jurisdiction offenders and drug <br />smuggling surveilance and arrests. Its sole purpose is to prevent <br />the loss of life and to insure the security for the public at large. <br />Each item listed is a necessary item. We have gone over each indi- <br />vidual piece and have asked for only those things necessary to suc- <br />cessfully complete the program. I urge each of the commissioners to <br />accept this proposal and hope that a unanimous vote can be reached. <br />Sincerely, <br />R. T.
