COBB COUNTY, Ga. — The Cobb County Police Department has a new team on the force. They’re not sworn officers, but they do wear uniforms and body cameras. “When I say fight gun violence, they will actually be doing that. Make people safer fewer burglaries, fewer entering autos,” Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said.
“They are a force multiplier designed to take off the non-violent tasks that officers handle every day,” Cobb County Maj. Michael Steine said.
