H. E. A. T.
New Traffic Unit To Combat Aggressive and Impaired Driving
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety has created the Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic (H.E.A.T.) to combat aggressive traffic and impaired driving. The program's goal is to decrease the number of auto crashes in metro Atlanta by 10 percent over the next two years.
The College Park and Atlanta police departments, along with officers from six metro counties, will form a multi-jurisdictional task force covering Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett and Henry counties. According to the office's website, these counties make up for 37 percent of the state's population, and 23 percent of the state's crash fatalities in 2000 occurred here.
Along with citations, each officer will be equipped with materials to educate citizens about the laws related to aggressive and impaired driving.
The program began in June but will not be fully operational until the end of August, said Ricky Rich, the statewide coordinator for the Traffic Enforcement Network.
The Governor's office website provides additional information about the penalties for each offense along with contact information. Visit www.gohs.state.ga.us.
Please list all frequencies and talkgroups related to this two year operation.
Here is a simple example.
155.91000 is used a lot when extra Georgia State Patrol units are brought to Atlanta to help. The reason is these mobile units lack the new trunking radios used in the metro area.
Also please suggest scanner strategies you have found useful in monitoring operation H.E.A.T.
