Menard County Sheriff’s Office is finally able to use the new patrol vehicles made possible by Texas Rural Law Enforcement Grants known as SB22. The funds were granted in 2023, and the Tahoe SUVs were purchased. The hold up was the wait for the up-fitting company who properly equipped them into law enforcement vehicles that are now on patrol in Menard County. MCSO photo.
