TIP OF THE HAT -- TASK FORCE GETS NEEDED HELP

The war on drugs and violent crimes just got a little easier in Talladega 
County.

The county's Drug and Violent Crime Task Force received a $286,000 grant 
from the state with a local match of $95,000 to use in its law enforcement 
efforts in those areas.

The grant will help put more manpower into major cases, like the triple 
homicide that occurred in the county last month.

The task force represents a team effort from the district attorney's office 
and local law enforcement agencies within the county.

But the funding does, too. Through the efforts of the legislative 
delegation, the county commission and the governor, the task force got the 
financial support it needs to be an effective force in Talladega County.

Our hats are off to a total team effort.
