Speaking at the press conference, Sheriff McMahill, said: "This is the next evolution of keeping our community safer than it has ever been.

"[Cybertrucks] are going to have special equipment in them and are going to be utilized to keep our cops safe.

"Ladders, shields, additional ammunition, less lethal tools — all of the things that are out there that are going to continue to help us save lives.

"I see a lot of the criticism out there that I spent money. Not one taxpayer dollar went to buying these Cybertrucks.

"That was completely to the generosity of Ben and Felicia Horowitz, who understand the importance of incorporating technology into policing."
