New look for the sheriff’s department

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Adams County Sheriff Rekeweg announced there have been some changes at the sheriff's department, most notably in the sheriff's vehicles area residents are used to seeing.

Rekeweg said that in an effort to save taxpayers money, as well as conforming to standards set by the Indiana Sheriff's' Association, sheriff's cars have been changed from the familiar two-tone brown to a plain white vehicle.

According to Chief Deputy Eric Meyer, the state mandates a two-tone paint scheme for sheriff's vehicles of any color. However, sheriff's departments may elect to use an all-white vehicle instead.
Meyer noted that vehicles do not come in the two-tone color scheme directly from the factory, meaning the department must pay approximately $3,500 more per vehicle to have them repainted to meet state guidelines.
