May 15, 2017 - Shelby County Constables were the recipients of a generous donation of body cameras from Gibsons Environmental Services in Center.
At the last meeting of the Shelby County Commissioners, the donation was approved to be received by the constables.
According to information provided by the company, "Gibsons is an active community supporter and when approached by Constable Jamie Hagler concerning the cameras, Gibsons gladly stepped up to donate body camera’s for the protection and safety of our County Constables and residents."
The donation is one that is effective countywide, benefiting all five law enforcement precincts. Constables receiving cameras are Zach Warr, Constable Precinct 1; Jamie Hagler, Constable Precinct 2; Roy Cheatwood, Constable Precinct 3; Jake Metcalf, Constable Precinct 4; and Robert Hairgrove, Constable Precinct 5.
Body cameras are a necessity to law enforcement in this day and time in performing their duties, and until this time, constables in Shelby County were not in possession of such equipment.
Gibsons is a local oilfield service company meeting the needs of Haynesville Shale region. Their plant and base of operations is located at 1524 Shelbyville Street in Center and currently employs approximately 50 Shelby County residents.
