Camden County sheriff wants armored vehicle because of Navy base
WOODBINE, Ga. โ Camden County Sheriff Jim Proctor says his department needs a military-style armored vehicle to help defend a Navy base in his county. Proctor is seeking a $350,000 grant from the federal Department of Homeland Security so it can buy an armored personnel carrier. Bruce said a military-style vehicle would make deputies better equipped to respond to emergencies at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in St. Marys. But the sheriffโs office needs to be ready to assist with emergencies at the base, Bruce said. He said that deputies, firefighters and other civilian agencies have taken part with Navy personnel in mock emergency drills at the base.
