Sheriff's Office Wins Prize at DOT Banquet

     At a recent Department of Transportation banquet held in Springfield, Illinois, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office received portable breath test unit and accessories, valued at close to $2500, from a drawing held for Illinois’ law enforcement participants of the 2003 “Click It or Ticket” campaign. The Alco Sensor IV with keypad is designed to be transported in a squad car, can store up to 900 alcohol test results and comes with a rechargeable battery and printer.

     “I was very surprised when I learned that we came home with this sensor,” said Sheriff Wayne Youell. “This instrument t is a great addition to our office and will prove to be a very valuable tool with regard to alcohol related matters where evidential quality results are required.”
