		<description><![CDATA[All Cecil County Sheriff’s deputies are now equipped with anti-ballistic helmets that could save police lives in a confrontation with a mass shooter—such as the recent Orlando murders—despite Cecil County Council budget cuts last year that slashed funds for riot gear. But the county still lacks other equipment that could save lives in the event of a major shooting incident here. The recent mass shootings at an Orlando, Florida nightclub highlighted the importance of life-saving equipment for law enforcement agencies, including anti-ballistic helmets that saved the life of a police officer and a heavily-armored vehicle used to ram a hole in the building to free wounded and terrified people while the shooter was still firing. The shooter, who was eventually killed by police after he murdered 49 people and wounded almost as many other patrons of the club, fired a shot directly at the head of a police officer but the bullet was deflected by a helmet. Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams told Cecil Times that, although his Fiscal 2016 budget for “riot gear” was cut nearly in half, his department “scrounged” from other line items, including training programs, to come up with enough funds to equip all current deputies [&#8230;]]]></description>
