MOORESVILLE, N.C. — The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office is using a brand new enforcement boat on Lake Norman.
The SAFE boat is custom-made from the ground up and took about a year to make. It comes with specialized sonar, heat-detecting systems and enough horsepower to cross from one side of the lake to the other in just minutes.
That’s helpful to locate missing boaters, swimmers and kayakers.
