Traps
Humane traps use cat food as bait and as the animal attempts to get to the food the door closes behind him capturing him inside.

Rabies Gloves
The gloves are extra thick and prevent the animal from biting the officer as he catches it.

Truck
2000 Ford R-250 Super Duty outfitted with a SWAB Kennel bed.  

Throw Net
 8’ diameter throw net used to capture animals that will not go into a trap.  The net is weighted down with lead weights and works by tangling up the animal allowing the officer to capture it.

Snake Tube/ Tongs/ Hook
The snake equipment will allow the officer to capture any type of snake (venomous & non) and relocate them so they can be released back in the wild.

Chemical Capture
Commonly called a tranquilizer gun, the sheriff’s office has two different guns.  One gun is a pistol and uses standard CO2 cartridges.  The second is a rifle and it is a standard pump type pellet rifle.  Both guns shoot the same type of darts.  Dart sizes range from 1cc to 3cc to 5cc.
