“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.
The Community Assistance Response Team (C.A.R.T.) Unit was created for men and women who want to make a difference.
“This is my way to be able to give back,” said Susan Johnson, C.A.R.T. Unit member.
“Hopefully going to be an officer soon. I’m not quite old enough yet so this is a good way for me to get experience,” said Logan Lucas, C.A.R.T. Unit member.
