Hillsborough County deputies using infrared technology to nab suspects

• Technology being used by Hillsborough County deputies is helping officers nationwide. Just five days ago, infrared FLIR technology was used to track down Floyd Ray Cook, a fugitive accused of shooting a Tennessee police officer and firing at a Kentucky trooper.
• Hillsborough deputies say the technology is only getting stronger. Its heat-seeking features help find suspects in the dead of night or in urban areas by finding suspects' body heat.
• These infrared cameras are now much in demand across the country. Hillsborough deputies have been using these for more than a decade and are seeing other law enforcement agencies taking up the trend.
•  The cameras have helped recover dozens of people over the years, deputies said.http://on.aol.com/video/hillsborough-county-deputies-using-infrared-technology-to-nab-suspects-519214583
