Sheriff’s fleet gets eye in the sky
They say you only get one chance to make a first impression. Luckily, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department’s latest addition came through with flying colors.
“Eagle One,” a JetRanger helicopter, was introduced at the annual Sheriff’s Posse Picnic on Aug. 20 by Sheriff John D’Agostini and pilots Ed Rincon and Dr. Richard Moorhouse.

I can’t wait for the new season to start on September 10th!!
——————
Crime may be ugly, but in Savannah, at least it happens in a pretty setting.
Zach Ragsdale, producer for the TV show “Cops,” said that’s why they picked Savannah for the new season of the show.
