PICKAWAY COUNTY, Ohio — The Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office has recently enhanced its capabilities with the acquisition of new equipment, thanks to grant funding.
Deputies at the sheriff’s office are now equipped with FLIR technology, an acronym for Forward Looking InfraRed. This cutting-edge system employs sensors and thermal imaging to detect heat signatures.
FLIR technology has proven to be invaluable for law enforcement agencies in various scenarios, including locating fleeing suspects or missing persons. Its ability to detect heat signatures enables deputies to navigate challenging situations more effectively, enhancing their ability to carry out their duties and ensure public safety.
