Pima County is rolling out a new program to enhance safety along The Loop , the popular 137-mile network of bike trails that connects Tucson and its neighboring parks.The Chuck Huckelberry Loop Patrol Program will introduce security guards to patrol sections of the trail and adjacent parks starting Tuesday, Aug. 27. The initiative, which will run for three months, comes in response to recent concerns about misuse and safety on the trail.

'Anytime you can have someone just helping out, lending a hand to make something safer is always a good thing,' said Bruce Rhoades, a manager at Sabino Cycles when asked about the program.The new patrols will include two security guards stationed along key sections of The Loop, such as Curtis Park and Flowing Wells Park. Norton said the guards will work 8-hour shifts beginning after sundown.
