LOWNDES COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL)-- The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office is awarded a $20,000 grant from the Governors Office of Highway Safety today.
The grant comes after the Sheriff's Office coordinated with the Governor's Office to form the Southern Region Traffic Enforcement Network.
The network helps to enforce Georgia's year round seat belt, speed, and impaired driving campaigns.
Half of the grant will support the activities of the traffic enforcement network and half will be spent on traffic safety equipment for the sheriff's office.
