Governor’s Office of Highway Safety awards grant to Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office

VALDOSTA — The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office has received an $94,076 High Visibility Enforcement grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. Funding for this grant is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is awarded based upon the partnership with The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety in helping to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities across the State of Georgia. High Visibility Enforcement combines highly visible and proactive law enforcement to target a specific traffic safety issue designed to change unlawful and dangerous driving behaviors that contribute to most of the fatal and serious-injury traffic crashes on our roads, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. Law enforcement efforts are combined with visibility elements and public notification on the enforcement campaign to educate the public on traffic safety and promote voluntary compliance with the law.
