The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia (PAC) received a $522,866 grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS).

The grant will continue through September of 2023, and will provide funding to train law enforcement officers and prosecutors.

The training will highlight how to effectively detect and prosecute impaired and/or unsafe drivers, including swiftly and effectively responding to the constantly changing legal environment surrounding impaired driving investigation and prosecution.

Allen Poole, Director of the GOHS, says “the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is working with all of our highway safety partners to reverse the increase in traffic deaths we have seen in the United States in the last two years and the goal of this project is to prevent crashes and save lives on our roads.“

PAC Executive Director Pete Skandalakis says “too many families are often left to deal with the catastrophic consequences caused by these inconsiderate drivers on our roadways. This is why I am proud for PAC to partner with GOHS to develop training programs for law enforcement officers and prosecutors to work together to make our roads safer for everyone.”

Law enforcement officers or prosecutors that would like to schedule training in your jurisdictions, please contact the PAC Training Division at (770) 282-6300 or training@pacga.org.
