(Miami County Kansas) You will start to see and hear new equipment on Miami County Sheriff's Office vehicles.
5 new 2020 Dodge Durango's will replace older Ford Explorers and will be equipped with the Howler which is a low frequency addition to the emergency siren that provides deep tones to penetrate sound into other vehicles alerting drivers and pedestrians of the emergency vehicles approach. These tones can be felt and are useful for the hearing impaired and are commonly used in high traffic areas and intersections.
The additional equipment will help make emergency responses safer for the Deputy and citizens.
