Recently the Alameda County Sherriff's Office has been going through many technological changes. What with I-Leads, Telestaff, wireless internet, new computer software, the department is steadily moving forward. But today's advances pale in comparison to the new fangled technology seen in this turn-of-the-century photo - the Automobile!
