The Barton County Sheriff’s Office patrol car driven by Sgt. David Smith took first place in the car show sponsored by the Kansas Juvenile Officers Association during its conference in Wichita. The conference was attended by Kansas DARE officers to gain training and teaching ideas for their Drug Abuse Resistance Education classes. Sheriff Greg Armstrong said one facet of the conference is to allow each agency to enter a car show for DARE vehicles.
