“This unit focuses on building a better relationship with the public by getting out in the neighborhoods and focusing on the community's needs,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in a statement. “We live in a county that is 520 square miles with numerous bike trails, including the W&OD trail that traverses over 20 miles of the county.
