DARKE COUNTY —BASF donated the emergency car kits to be placed in Darke County Sheriff’s cruisers and other vehicles in the Sheriff’s fleet.

“Sheriff Toby L. Spencer would like to thank BASF for donating emergency car kits to the Darke County Sheriff’s Office,” said Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker.

The kits include booster cables, flares, and other items in case of a roadside emergency.

“Even though Darke County deputies have radios and cell phones available to call for assistance it is important for each deputy and vehicle to be prepared for roadside emergencies. In times of disaster and other circumstances when resources may be low or absent emergency responders need to be self sufficient in order to continue with whatever mission may be presented to them,” said Whittaker.
