GRAVETTE -- The Gravette Police Department is the recipient of two new computers, compliments of a program similar to the "Click it or Ticket" promotion to get drivers to buckle their seat belts.

Chief Andrew Bower and Sgt. James Rusterholz "showed off" the new computers which recognized the local department's efforts in the "Drive Sober or Pull Over" traffic safety program which accents the necessity for people who drink not to drive or to have a designated sober driver.

The computers are equipped with fingerprint reading capabilities and were accompanied by a complementary camera. The computers are valued at about $2,500, the chief said.
