June 11th, 2008 | Category: Tampa Blog

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office will soon be using new high-tech, high-powered equipment in the effort to find lost and abducted children.

At a dawn press conference, the agency’s lost Abducted Child Team will unveil an all-terrain 6×6 vehicle "capable of covering the worst terrain and wooded areas," officials said.

The MAC unit will additionally protest upgraded technical capabilities on the

new Pasco Sheriff’s Office Web site. Deputies say the boost in technology will help the press and the public access data, such as pictures and video, when children go lost.

Sheriff’s officials the new 6×6 vehicle to be used by the MAC team was funded by donations.
