The Escambia County Florida Sheriff's Office wants your attention and they're going high tech to get it.
The Sheriff's office is installing a state of the art sound system in 40 of their squad cars. The system, known as the Rumbler, sends out sound waves.
A slight vibration will alert a distracted driver while a patrol car is passing by during an emergency. The system is already being used simultaneously with squad lights and sirens. The Sheriff's office hopes the system will help drivers heed their warning. "If people see us coming and hear us coming and feel us coming they will know to move out of the way...and it's safer for all concern,"Said Captain Gary Montee with the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office says they are the first law enforcement agency on the Gulf Coast to use the Rumbler.
