Chowan County ABC Board Buys Radio Equipment For Law Enforcement Officers ? xnsmitter and Re- I ceiver Will Be Placed In Four Cars FIRST CLASS SETS Purchase Made From ABC Law Enforce ment Fund Following action taken last week by the Chowan ABC Board, Eden ton’s and Chowan County’s law en-; forcement officers will in the near; future be fully equipped with radio sets which will put the two depart ments on a par with many other coun ties. When the Board first considered purchasing radio equipment an offer was made U> buy a second-hat outfit, but after some discussion it was de cided if radio was added to the equip ment it should be the best possible to obtain. It was, therefore, decided to purchase equipment similar to that! used by the State Highway Patrol. Included in the equipment will be: four transmitters and four receivers which will be placed in cars as well as a station house transmitter and re ceiver. A 55-foot tower will be erect ed on top of the Police Station. A transmitter and receiver will be placed in Sheriff J. A. Bunch’s car, the Town’s police car, Chief of Police George Dail’s personal car and Dep uty Sheriff Norman Hollowell's car, so that any of the officers will be able to contact each other or police head- 1 quarters. A receiver will also be placed at the highway radio station’ at Williamston. The equipment was purchased from the Arnold Radio! Company of Richmond, and is expect-[ ed to be installed and in operation! within (50 days. The equipment will cost something! over $3,400, and this amount will be! used by the ABC Board from the law enforcement fund in the belief that it will provide better protection for the '•»unty as a whole. While the ABC 'v rd will foot the bill, a contract;, J the equipment was signed last ek by Mayor Leroy Haskett. Purchase of this important equip-, ment by the ABC Board was reported j at the meeting of Town Council on' Tuesday night, and by a unanimous ' vote, Mayor Haskett was instructed 1 to write a letter of appreciation for! the addition.
