The Cochise County Sheriff's Office opening a new joint forces border operation building in Sierra Vista. Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies will work in a new building together.
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — The Cochise County Sheriff's Office has a new location from which law enforcement can keep an eye on the border.
The increase in activity at the border is one of the reasons Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels wanted to have a joint forces border operations building in the county. The Sheriff's Office was able to purchase a building in Sierra Vista because of a $5 million grant from the state.“Well it’s efficient, for one," Dannels said.
“Our camera system, for example, that we watch all southern Arizona border, parts of New Mexico and inside the interior of Arizona, this is having a virtual center to watch those cameras inside of it, which is exciting for us,” Dannels said. “We started out with five or six and went to 10 or 12 and then all of a sudden we’ve got 15 miles of the border saturated with cameras,” Ladd said."I said 'if we get any relief out of it, then it's more than welcome'," Ladd said.
