  Mr. HELLER. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2847 the Commerce, 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Dean Heller
  Bill Number: H.R. 2847
  Account: DOJ--COPS Tech
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Washoe County Sheriff's Department
  Address of Requesting Entity: 911 Parr Boulevard, Reno NV 89512
  Description of Request: $500,000. Washoe County is the second most 
populous county in Nevada, occupying 6608 square miles. Washoe County 
Sheriff's Office Patrol Divisions will use this Federal funding to 
purchase In-Car Video Systems which have proven to be useful in the 
collection of evidence, increased perception of safety by Patrol 
Officers, and improved confidence in the law enforcement community by 
the citizenry. These systems have also proven useful during internal 
affairs investigations, reducing agency liability, evaluations of 
policies and procedures, as well as training. The use of a wireless In-
Car Video System would satisfy all of these concerns for the Washoe 
County Sheriff's Office. -
