Sheriff Chapman today announced the launch of Shiawassee County’s first law enforcement “soft interview room,” a trauma-informed space designed to support victims and survivors of crime during sensitive interviews, calling it “a critical step forward in how we serve our community with dignity and care.” The Sheriff expressed deep appreciation to the dedicated deputies and staff who helped bring the project to life, as well as the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners for their continued support of victim-centered initiatives, and Dr. Brian Boggs, County Administrator, for his leadership and commitment to advancing innovative public safety solutions. “This room reflects our shared mission—to protect, to serve, and to ensure that every victim is met with compassion and professionalism at their most vulnerable moment.”
