Sheriff's Office Acquires Armoured Personnel Carrier

Police in St. Clair County, Michigan will be safer in dangerous situations thanks to the acquisition of a BAE Caiman armoured personnel carrier.

The non-combat vehicle will be used to keep officers safe during hostage situations and high-risk search warrants.

Sheriff Tim Donnellon says the new vehicle replaces one they had been sharing with other forces in McComb County.
