NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON
The Washington County Sheriffs Office has been working closely
with S & P Harley-Davidson in Marietta to bring another
motorcycle to their fleet of vehicles. A new fully-equipped
2008 Harley-Davidson Road King will be utilized in a multitude
of functions for the department. With the support of Steve
Hardy, Owner and Kenny Hardy, General Manager from S&P
Harley-Davidson, the Washington County Sheriffs Office have
saved over $5,000 with a purchase of this type of resource
used in providing coverage to the community.
Sheriff Mincks and his Deputies have an ongoing expectation
of operating the department in a cost-effective manner with
the overwhelming increase in fuel prices. This method of transportation
assists greatly in achievement of that goal. Over the next
90 days, the officers trained and certified to ride motorcycles
will be using the vehicle in performing their daily activities
to determine the full impact that can be made. The motorcycle
will achieve 50 miles per gallon for highway use and 39 in
city use. The new motorcycle will be utilized in drug interdiction
and speed enforcement primarily in school zones and posted
speed limits less than 55 mph in small communities. The Sheriff’s
Office fuel budget has escalated from $125,000 a year to a
projected $290,000 in 2009.
