The Vanderburgh County Council approved Sheriff Robinson’s request to fund a new detective.
This person will be assigned full-time to the local Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Task Force, and work alongside the Sheriff’s Office.
The new detective will tackle issues such as straw purchases.
This is when someone purchases a gun for a person prohibited by law from possessing one.
The investigator will assist The Joint Narcotics Task Force with weapons seizures from drug dealers and felons.
Sheriff Robinson says he is fulfilling a promise he made to take the issue of gun related crime seriously.
