More about DPS
GSP troopers investigate traffic crashes and enforce traffic and criminal laws on the state's roads.
Georgia State Patrol
"Wisdom, Justice and Moderation" has been the motto of the Georgia State Patrol since its inception on October 15th, 2023. It was the motoring public who first advocated the need for the Department of Public Safety. Traffic fatalities, increased crime, and a need for a larger law enforcement agency with statewide arrest powers, led Georgia lawmakers to create the State Patrol.
Each trooper within the Georgia State Patrol are trained at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) in Lakewood and Troopers recieve specialized training in Precision Intervention Technique (P.I.T.). This method allows Troopers to end pursuits quickly by putting the fleeing vehicle in a controlled spin.
