Chopper Cops
They're just north of Disney World, but to the men and women of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, the 1,600 square-mile area they patrol is no fantasy. Marion County's highways, forests and suburban neighborhoods are crime scenes to more than 7,000 felonies a year. But with a jurisdiction larger than the state of Rhode Island, ground units find it impossible to have eyes everywhere.
