Does anyone know of Law Enforcement Agencies currently using Argos (or similar) AATVs for search and rescue, agricultural and similar off-road use?

I recently saw a swat team mounted in an Argo Response during TV coverage of the Eric Rudolph arrest and would be interested to get the feelings of these end-users.

The Rusk Co. Sheriff's Dept. in Wisconsin, I believe used some Argos after a tornado struck in 2002. I don't know if they were only temps or if they still use them.

Yes, some use the Max and Argo when needed, but as a temperary use. I donate my demo's and time for all the Law Enforcement Agencies around here including FBI when needed. Last year, there was a girl missing in Valley Park, MO and the FBI was called in with other Law Enforcement Agencies. they couldn't search most of the places due to their atv's keep getting stuck. We brought 2 max's down and helped them get into an area and we found the girl. It wasn't the happy ending that we liked, but the parents did have closer. The body would of never been found if not for the Max.

I hear that Search & Rescue in Boise Idaho has a couple Argos.
