Sheriff’s Office Acquires Armored Vehicle

Help Restore Mamba

Fifth & Oak Autocrafts and Countywide Collision, Washington, donated material and labor on a project to restore a surplus Mamba armored carrier acquired by the sheriff’s department through the U.S. Department of Defense. The companies did body work and painted the vehicle. Other volunteers also worked on getting the vehicle in shape for use by the department’s Emergency Response Team (ERT).
