NEWS RELEASE
For immediate release

Floyd County Police Department Awarded $39,873 Grant for Local DUI Enforcement

(ATLANTA) - The Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) has announced that the Floyd County Police Department is one of 32 law enforcement agencies in Georgia to receive a Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic (H.E.A.T.) grant for Federal Fiscal Year 2027, that begins on October 1, 2026 and ends on September 30, 2027.

The Floyd County Police Department's award totals $39,873. The Floyd County Police Department H.E.A.T Unit will use the grant from GOHS to develop and implement strategies to reduce local traffic crashes due to aggressive and dangerous driving behaviors.

The goal of the H.E.A.T. program is to combat crashes, injuries and fatalities caused by impaired driving and speeding, while also increasing seat belt use and educating the public about traffic safety and the dangers of DUI.

"Crash data shows enforcement and education of traffic laws are two of most effective countermeasures to help our state and nation reduce crashes and eliminate deaths and serious injuries on our roads," said Allen Poole, Director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. "Each life saved on our roads is one less family that will have to live with the pain of losing a loved one whose life was taken from them in a traffic crash that was preventable"
H.E.A.T. grants fund specialized traffic enforcement units in counties throughout the state. The program was designed to assist Georgia jurisdictions with the highest rates of traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities with grants awarded based on impaired driving and speeding data.

"We are proud to continue our partnership with The Governor's Office of Highway Safety. In recent years, our overall crash and fatality numbers continue to trend lower. Our focus will remain on keeping our roadways safe for all motorists traveling in Floyd County through proactive impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, and seat belt enforcement. We will also continue to focus on educating our community about the dangers of these driving behaviors, ensuring that drivers of all ages make informed decisions when getting behind the wheel," said Chief Mark Wallace.

As law enforcement partners in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over DUI campaign and the Click It Or Ticket seatbelt campaigns, the Floyd County Police Department will also conduct mobilizations throughout the year in coordination with GOHS's year-round waves of high visibility patrols, multi-jurisdictional roadchecks and sobriety checkpoints.
