On Monday, the Bates County Sheriff's Youth Posse got an up-close look at the tools and tech that help keep our community safe! From patrol vehicles to specialized equipment, they explored how each piece plays a role in law enforcement operations.
One of the most talked-about moments? Corporal Jackson's live overview of the Grappler device—a powerful tool used to safely end high-speed pursuits. Watching how it works sparked a lot of curiosity and great questions from the group!
And a huge thanks to Detective Davis, the drone demonstration was a hit! The youth were fascinated by how aerial technology supports investigations and search efforts.
It was a day full of learning, inspiration, and hands-on discovery. We’re proud of these future leaders and grateful to our Sheriff's Office staff for sharing their time and expertise.
