PRESS RELEASE

Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Awards 2026 GOHS Technology Grant to
Auburn Police Department

The Auburn Police Department is pleased to announce it has received a $30,000.00 grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). The grant, which will continue through September of 2027 will help finance the purchase of sixteen Dell Pro Rugged laptops, which is necessary to support the operational needs of the Patrol Division within the Police Department. These devices will be deployed in patrol vehicles and used by officers in the field for report writing, accessing law enforcement databases, viewing call information, and completing other critical mobile computing tasks. The rugged design is essential to withstand the demanding law enforcement environment, including constant vehicle use, varying weather conditions, vibration, and frequent handling. Replacing and standardizing these laptops will improve reliability, officer efficiency, and uninterrupted access to mission-critical systems needed for effective public safety operations.
“The loss of one life on our roads is one too many, and the fact almost all fatal traffic crashes can be prevented is one reason why we are awarding this grant,” Allen Poole, Director of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety said. “The target of zero traffic deaths in our nation is achievable, and we will continue to help develop and implement educational messages, enforcement campaigns, and other safety initiatives aimed at bringing us one step closer to our goal.”
“These new rugged laptops will give our patrol officers reliable access to critical information in the field, allowing them to work more efficiently, complete reports faster, and continue providing the high level of service our community expects.”

The Auburn Police Department is committed to serving our community through professional law enforcement services that protect the lives and property of the citizens and strives to improve the quality of life in our community.

There are some posts you never want to have to write, and this is one of them.

Many of us at the Auburn Police Department had the privilege of serving alongside Daniel during our time at the Winder Police Department. He was the kind of person whose presence was always felt. Whether it was his willingness to help, his genuine care for others, or simply the way he carried himself, Daniel made an impact on everyone who knew him.

He was one of the most caring, dedicated, and respectful officers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. More importantly, he was an even better person. His loss is deeply felt, and he will be missed by so many.

Please keep his wife, Danielle, his family, and our brothers and sisters at the Winder Police Department in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Daniel. Thank you for your service, your friendship, and the difference you made in the lives of so many. You will never be forgotten.

What an incredible evening!

Auburn Police Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Barrow County Chamber of Commerce Women in Business for participating in our Women’s Self-Defense Class.

These ladies came ready to work! They trained hard, stayed engaged, and weren’t afraid to step outside their comfort zones. By the end of the class, it was clear they had developed valuable skills, greater confidence, and the mindset needed to better protect themselves if ever faced with a dangerous situation. We can honestly say this is one tough group of women, and we couldn’t be more proud of the effort each of you put into the training.

A special thank you goes to Kristian, along with all of the instructors and students at Anthem martial arts and the Auburn cpa alumni for generously volunteering your time and expertise. Your professionalism, energy, and commitment to teaching made this class a tremendous success, and we are grateful for your continued partnership with the Auburn Police Department.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make this event such a success. We look forward to offering more self-defense classes in the future and hope to see even more members of our community join us. Together, we can continue building a safer, stronger, and more prepared community.
