A small fleet of used vehicles from other agencies was purchased, however, mechanical problems resulted in one vehicle out of 4 blowing an engine.
The Chief Deputy also described several officers had applied for jobs with the Jackson County Sheriffs Department. However, due to the high cost of family insurance hiring new officers is inhibited.
