Appling County moves forward on body scanner for sheriff's office despite limited data on evidence outcomes
Summary
Chief Deputy Gene Davis described a proposed body scanner that takes under a minute; commissioners proceeded with a previously approved purchase though they had no county-by-county statistics on evidence recovered.
At the July 19 called meeting, Chief Deputy Gene Davis appeared before the board to discuss a proposed body scanner for the Appling County Sheriff’s Office and answered questions from commissioners.
Davis said the scan "takes less than a minute" and that the quoted price includes installation, training and a one-year warranty. Commissioners asked for statistics about evidence found by other counties that own the scanner, but no county-level statistics were available at the meeting.
The board recorded that the scanner had previously been approved and moved forward with the purchase. The meeting record does not show the final purchase price or a delivery schedule; those details will be handled by sheriff's office procurement and county staff.
