Paulding County would like to annouonce that with the continued spread of the drug epidemic, a collaborative effort by the Sheriff, Prosecutor and Commissioners of Paulding County was undertaken to purchase a portable Tactic ID Drug Identifiction Unit. This unit is handheld and utilizes laser technology to identify many chemicals and narcotics.
The purpose of this unit is to identify potential drugs before law enforcement personnel is subject to exposure from handling unknown substances. Paulding County is the first county in Northwest Ohio to implement the purchase of one of these units. Part of the funding for this purchase made possible by fines paid for by folks convicted in Paulding County of drug related crimes.
A continued effort will be made by your county to providenecessary equipment to ensure the safety of our personnel and our constituents.
