		<description><![CDATA[Wearing a mourning band around his Sheriff’s badge to honor the sadly growing roster of recently murdered law enforcement officers across the nation, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams warned the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that despite gains in preventing fatal overdoses and heightened enforcement efforts against drug traffickers, there are “scary” trends in the illegal drug world that could worsen the drug abuse problem in the county. Compounding the problem has been a time-lag in “trend” and “threat assessment” information from federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), that makes data available long after police on the streets are seeing quickly shifting patterns in illegal drugs sold by dealers. “The trends change so quickly,” Adams said, and a growing threat is fentanyl—a powerful opioid and anesthetic that dealers are mixing with heroin&#8211;that had previously bypassed Cecil County. But in 2015, there were 7 fentanyl drug deaths in Cecil County—a sharp increase from the 1 death recorded in 2014 and zero deaths in the county due to fentanyl in 2013. So far this year, there has already been 1 fentanyl-related death in Cecil County during the first four months of the year, according to new state health data [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Executive wants to spend $7.3 million to buy a building in Elkton where the Sheriff’s Department and emergency dispatchers currently rent office space under a proposal presented to the County Council on Tuesday. County officials claimed the plan would more than pay for itself in the long run and juggling the county’s bond accounts would cover the immediate costs. The county recently learned that the building and land at 107 Chesapeake Blvd. that currently houses the Sheriff’s Department offices and the Department of Emergency Services, including 911 emergency communications and dispatch operations, was listed for sale. The property is located in the Upper Chesapeake Corporate Center, which was long ago designated as a special tax break zone designed to attract new business and employers to the county. The county administration building is also located in the center, a short distance down Chesapeake Blvd. from the Sheriff’s Office site. The lease arrangements for the Sheriff’s building have long been criticized by many county residents for its basic costs and annual automatic escalator clauses that boosted expenses to the county each year of the 20-year lease that began in 2005. Winston Robinson, the county Director of Finance, told reporters [&#8230;]]]></description>
