September 4, 1999, Sheriff Reeves of the Shannon County Sheriff Dept.,
in Eminence, Missouri, applied to be a host for the ACA software making them the third
police agency to sign up with CAF. This new Host, approximately 100 miles south-southwest
of Saint Louis, will further extend the system's reach into the eastern portions of
Missouri and into the edges of the Saint Louis Area, as well as adding additional coverage
to all of the eastern and central Missouri area.With the addition of Shannon County (east
central Missouri) and Stone County (southwest Missouri), in combination with Rogersville,
we are close to having the entire southern half of the state of Missouri blanketed by the
ACA System.

"We at Bikers 4 Kids are
especially excited about Stone County joining the ACA
Host system due to the fact that our annual fund raiser is held at Hootontown in
Stone County. They are great people with a tough job and we hope that this alert
system will be an invaluable tool."
