HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA STATE PATROL

SAFETY /EDUCATION

"WISDOM, JUSTICE AND MODERATION" has been the motto of the Georgia State Patrol since its inception in March 1937. 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.
In the summer of 1937, the first Trooper School was held at Georgia Tech and graduated eighty Troopers. Now, more than eight-hundred Troopers are stationed at 48 Patrol Posts around the state. The Georgia State Patrol responds to fatal crashes and serious traffic injuries and today enforces lifesaving DUI, speed, seatbelt and child safety seat laws.
Now, you have an opportunity to join the most professional law enforcement agency in the Peach State. The Department of Public Safety seeks the most highly qualified candidates for Georgia's rigorous State Trooper training program.
The Department of Public Safety is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Please take time to find out all about the benefits you could enjoy as a member of the Georgia State Patrol.
