Eight months after the Beltline's Eastside Trail opened, Atlanta police are officially unleashing a specialized team of officers to chase evildoers off the multi-use trail. Backed by a federal grant, the "Path Force Unit" begins patrols this week with a roughly 20-officer roster. One official told WABE: "We're going to start out patrolling on foot and bicycle and then we're going to transition into acquiring motorized vehicles, which will be side-by-side ATVs and dual-purpose motorcycles."
