HARTINGTON — Installation of two-way radios this week in his home and office provides Cedar County Sheriff Ralph Clements with a very modern communication system.
The sheriff also has a two-way radio in his car and a receiving set at his home. The additional radios will be a big improvement over the old set up, he said. Previously he had the receiving set in his office and a two-way radio in his car.
Sheriff Clements cited some of the advantages of the new radios. “When I go out on an accident and find that an ambulance and doctor or wrecker is needed I can radio home and Mrs. Clements will contact the local doctors or wrecker service by telephone,” Clements said. “It is sometimes difficult to locate a telephone near a wreck.”
“If someone wants to contact me in a hurry and I am on the road they can call Mrs. Clements and she will radio me from home. Law officers in other counties can call me at home, the office or in my car and I can do the same. This will give better coverage.”
Clements is on a sheriff’s wave length that enables any of the county law officers to contact each other. Call numbers for sheriffs are in the 300s. For Cedar county it is 313.
