BRUNSWICK Since becoming police chief in June, Scott Stewart has made the Mountain Bike Unit a main focus in his efforts to increase community policing in Brunswick, he said.
“I believe that we break down some communication barriers when we interact with the community on a more regular basis,” Stewart said in a phone interview. “One of the better ways to do that is for officers to be approachable to talk to and not necessarily inside their cars.”
“Brunswick is a very, very outdoor, bicycle, walking [oriented] community,” he said. “There’s a lot of cycling enthusiasts who just think it is a great idea and I think it’s a win-win for us and the community.”
