The nation-wide challenge has shown a positive impact for law enforcement in building relationships with the community, according to a statement from the sheriff’s department.

“The female deputies represent the Richland County Sheriff’s Department where it is our mission, as trusted public servants, to prevent crime and the fear of crime by providing excellence in law enforcement services, accountability, and connections with our communities,” Sheriff Leon Lott said in a statement. “These women represent the thousands of men and women in BLUE all across the world who proudly serve and protect their communities every day.”

The female deputies aren’t the only members of the Richland County Sheriff’s Department to make their case in the Hot Cops Challenge. One of the department’s K9 officers was pictured in a tweet that asked, “Who said #HotCops had to have 2 legs?”
