The purpose <br />for creating this task force was to create a multi-jurisdictional investigative unit that <br />could handle major crime investigations. By doing this we literally have more than 40 <br />experienced investigators available upon making a few phone calls. <br /> <br />Members of this organization include: <br />o Hall County Sherif!" s Department, <br />o Grand Island Police Department, <br />o Adams County Sheriff s Department, <br />o Hastings Police Department, <br />o Kearney Police Department, <br />o Buffalo County Sheriffs Department, <br />o Dawson County Sheriffs Department, <br />o Holdrege Police Department, <br />o Phelps County Sheriffs Office, <br />o Aurora Police Department <br />o Nebraska State Patrol. <br /> <br />Additionally we combined our monetary resources for purchasing investigative <br />equipment, than none of us could afford on our own, pool our manpower resources for <br />larger annual events and offer applicant pooling for new hires. We also offer specialized <br />trainings several times each year. We bring the instructor to us, saving taxpayers of our <br />region a considerable amount of money if you compare the cost of sending an officer to <br />an out of State training for a week. <br /> <br />SCALES vision is to collaboratively offer our constituents effective and efficient law <br />enforcement services by sharing re.~ources. We strive to make our region a safer place <br />to live and enhance our quality of life. <br />
