DeKalb police have just been awarded $66,300 to target aggressive drivers, drunken drivers and speeders.
The Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety awarded the H.E.A.T.–Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic–grant. The police will also use the money to step up enforcement of safety belt laws and educational programs, the police department announced Wednesday.
H.E.A.T. programs serve the 22 counties surrounding Atlanta because they are the jurisdictions with some of the highest rates of crashes, injuries and deaths, police said.
