To the Members of the Georgia Department of Public Safety:
This was another year in which the Department made great progress in vital areas and earned national recognition on a regular basis. All of this is extremely gratifying to me because this is exactly the kind of performance I expected from the Department of Public Safety.
While I am pleased by the slight decrease in traffic fatalities in Georgia, I still remain deeply concerned about the highway carnage caused by drinking or drugged drivers. It is clear that, in addition to the old menace of the drinking driver, the easy availability of drugs in Georgia has brought a new scourge to our state's highways.
All of the equipment and traini-ng advances made in the department, for which you can be justifiably proud, should now be pointed toward one goal-eliminating drunk and drugged drivers from Georgia's highways. This one action alone should go far toward making the decade of the '90s the safest of the century.
With kindest regards, I remain
Sincerely,
Joe Frank Harris

Governor Joe Frank Harris Board of Public Safety Members of the General Assembly Citizens of Georgia
It is with great pleasure that I tender this report on the activities of the Department of Public Safety during the calendar year 1989.
This year saw the culmination of a series of improvement initiatives for the Georgia State Patrol. Starting in 1987, the Department began the experimentation with in-car video systems. This testing resulted in a decision to make the in-car video an integral part of the trooper's equipment package. The package included the phasing in of power seats and power windows, and low profile light bars. The light bars, which contained high intensity blue strobe lights and powerful takedown lights, were an essential element to ensure the safety and well-being of our troopers. This year we also completed the rearming of the Patrol division.
All of these things aided materially in improving the "quality of life" for Georgia State Troopers and aided in helping the organization attain and maintain high standards. The video system is particularly valuable in helping us strive for the greatest professionalism possible. As every law enforcement officer knows, the potential for things to go awry is always the greatest during those first crucial minutes of an encounter between a violator and a police officer. The video taping of that encounter provides concurrent protection to the citizens and lo the officers. That is why, by institutionalizing and systematizing the in-car video system which provides a visual record of that first contact, the Georgia State Patrol has become recognized as a national leader in law enforcement innovations.
The leadership in the Department has not been limited to the Patrol Division. The Driver Services Division, which has more direct impact on Georgia citizens, also staked out national leadership claims during the year. Georgia was among the nation's leaders in getting enabling legislation passed to establish a commercial drivers licensing program. The Driver Services Division did ycoman service in informing all the key players and setting the stage for the first issuances of commercial drivers licenses.
In order for both of these major divisions of the Department to excel and gain national recognition, all members of the Department play key roles. I particularly want to commend those too often unsung civilian employees whose daily job is keeping abreast of the mass of paperwork which sometimes threatens to swamp the department. Thcy are all part of a winning team and that team will continue to strive for economy, efficiency and excellence to better serve the citizens of Georgia.
Respectfully submitted,
commissioner

PLANNING AND RESEARCH
This office consists of a Planning Officer, four assistants and a secretary. As a staff-oriented function, Planning and Research routinely develops and proposes plans for both immediate problem resolution and long-range goals of the Department. The office also reviews the effectiveness and need of many on-going programs. In addition, Planning and Research provides statistical and analytical support as needed by the Commissioner and his staff, the drafting of correspondence or studies which require supportive research, and other duties.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Office of Public Affairs is charged with the responsibility of being the conduit of information to the media and the department. During 1989 the office produced news releases related to traffic safety, holiday accident forecasts and employee accomplishments.
News media inquiries were handled by the office, either directly or by referral to the appropriate office.
Day-to-day activities of the Department were reported through THE BULLETIN while the monthly newsletter, THE BLUE LINE, provided in-depth news stories relating to the department and its members. All departmental photos were processed by the Photo Lab and the Graphics Unit provided layouts, designs and typesetting for most department publications.
As Grants Management Office, we also seek and administer federal funds for Dcpartmental programs.
We are also the point of contact for studying the impact of the 1996 Olympics. In 1989, Planning and Research was assigned 354 projects. Of that number, 321 were completed, six were discontinued, six were transferred to other offices for completion, seven are presently being evaluatcd, or pending feedback, and 14 are presently being addressed by the office. We are also working on 14 additional projects which were assigned prior to 1989.
Some examples of the projects completed in 1989 are as follows: - Initiated efforts to have DOT install signs along interstate highway system noting exits leading to GSP posts.
- Update policy of departmental firearms. - Design new uniform traffic citations. - Draft DPS policy on use of tapes from in-car cameras.

This office also represents the Department as Emergency Coordinator with the Department of Defense's Emergency Operations Center. We are also represented on the senior staff, at all Troop Commanders meetings and the Department's EDP Committee.
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
The rider education and training program continues to be the main focus and emphasis of the Motorcycle Safety Unit. The program continues to grow with fixed training sites operational in nine locations across the state and another established in Albany that will be fully operational for the beginning of the next training year. With more than 50 instructors certified, these sites enrolled 816 students in both the beginner and experienced rider courses offered to motorcyclists. Course offerings also included motor officer training for law enforcement agencies across the state.
The motorist awareness aspect of the Motorcycle Safety Unit's program was implemented during 1989. In addition to initiating a bumper sticker campaign (Look for Motorcyclists), the Advisory Committee established the month of May as "Motorcycle Awareness and You Month" with a proclamation by Governor Joe Frank Harris and resolutions by both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives. Also established by the Advisory Committee was an annual Capitol Ride-In to announce the MAY campaign on the first Sunday of each May. Georgia now joins more than twelve other states with similar spring campaigns aimed at involving other highway users in motorcycle safety efforts.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
The Office of Professional Standards handled 110 complaints from the public on DPS employees and 41 additional miscellaneous complaints in 1989. Investigators conducted 15 investigations, six involving DPS employees.
The Permit Section governs the statewide issuance of racetrack license, emergency light certification, wholesalefretail firearm license, speed detection device permit and the exemptions to the tinted window law permit.
Thanks to a joint effort between the Motorcycle Safety Unit, the Driver Services Division and the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, a major revamping of Georgia motorcycle licensing was implemented in 1989. During a month-long training effort at the Commercial Drivers License facility in Milledgeville, 119 examiners and four state training specialists were certified to administer the new Motorcyclist Licensing Skill Test. By year's end, more than 140 examiners were trained as Certified Motorcycle Examiners.
Federal funding also provided for the purchase of 40 sets of the new electronic test equipment used to administer the new test. In addition, a system was established to continue examiner ccrlification training, implementation of annual examiner refresher training and a method for routine examiner review. Implementation of the new motorcycle licensing system will extend into 1990.The new licensing program also includes the addition of three new restrictions for all motorcycle licenses and permits.
LEGAL SERVICES
-
The Legal Services office provides clarification and interpretation of traffic and criminal laws for members of the Depanment. The office is responsible for the publication and distribution of the DPS Policy Manual and ensures that department policy does not conflict with existing state laws.

GEORGIA STATE PATROL
SPECIAL OPERATIONS TROOP
The Special Operations Troop is composed of Safety Education, Implied Consent and the Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Unit. These sections have performed their assigned duties in a highly professional manner during the past year. Their established goals were met or exceeded without exception.
Safety Education was involved in the total spectrum of traffic safety throughout the state. This included safety lectures to civic groups, bicycle rodeos and other special details as the Department deemed necessary.
The primary concern of Safety Education continues to be the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program. Troopers involved in this endeavor taught the course to more than 130,000 high school students.
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
The Department acquired and placed in service 110 new 32-channel programmable radios in 1989. Also added were 150 new vehicular repeaters and portable radios.
A remote radio in Richmond County has resolved radio coverage problems for Post 25 and enhanced the communications in the Augusta area.
A similar problem was addressed in Dublin with a remote radio placed in service for coverage in the Macon/Bibb County area and 1-16 east of Macon.
The new mobile command post was called into service in 1989 to augment communications for Operation COFLAME and the Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival.
The Implied Consent Unit has a staff of nine uniform troopers who are responsible for the training of intoximeter operators and the maintenance of the breath testing program for the state.
During 1989,this unit conducted 24 basic intoximeter classes and 68 refresher classes. In addition, the unit responded to 425 calls to assist city, county and state agencies with their breath testing program.
The Emission I n s ~ e c t i o na n d Maintenance Unit experienced a rapid increase in the number of insoection stations and mechanic inspectors during 1989. The number rose from 448 stations in 1988 to 729 stations and some 2,500 inspectors at the end of 1989.
The automobile emission program continues to operate extremely well with a very high rating from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency.
AVIATION
The GSP Airwing consists of 13 pilots, five mechanics and civilian support personnel. Six Airwing Hangars are located geographically throughout the state with headquarters at Fulton County Airport in Atlanta. These facilities are staffed with one or two pilots and equipped with both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.
The GSP Airwing continues to provide aircraft support to all federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout Georgia.
Airwing pilots and aircraft continue to be the backbone of the Governor's Drug Task Force which confiscated and destroyed $139,6 14,200 in illegal drugs
through aerial observation and surveillance by the Airwing pilots.
The Airwing logged more than 2,850 flight hours in 1989 with 1,450 flight hours devoted to the drug task force and 1,400 hours for GSP and other enforcement agencies on special details (civil disorder, robberies, escapes, etc.).
New video cameras were added to GSP helicopters and will be a valuable tool in supporting court cases involving aircraft observations.

PERSONNEL OFFICE
The Department of Public Safety Personnel Office is responsible for all personnel-related activity for the department and its attached agencies.
The Personnel Office is the Department's central job applicant processing section. It handles applicant and employee interviewing; gives information and assistance to prospective applicants; and maintains scores and polygraph results of prospective employees.
During 1989, the Personnel Office worked with the Merit System to develop examinations based on the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for the positions of Radio Operator and Driver Examiner. The new Trooper test was developed and was administered in December to approximately 1,000 prospective troopers.
During 1989, the new Personal Leave Program was implemented by the Merit System and will be administered by the Personnel Office along with the sick leave, annual leave and compensatory time programs. The Flexible Benefits and Health Benefits Programs are also administered by the Personnel Office.
In July, 1989, the Management Review/Working Test Program was initiated, giving working test employees an evaluation midway through their working test period. This program is administered by the Personnel Office along with the regular performance reports.
The office also prepared Faithful Service Awards and Warrants and Commissions for department employees.
During the calendar year 1989, there were 407 new employees processed by the Personnel Office.
ACCIDENT REPORTING
The Accident Reporting Section is responsible for the collection of forms received from the Georgia State Patrol and all other law enforcement agencies in the state. Reports are microfilmed and retained for a ten year period.
Twenty-one employees process over 20,000 accident reports a month. From these reports, detailed statistical summaries of traffic accidents are then prepared.
Accident Reporting is also responsible for furnishing the uniform report which is used by all law enforcement agencies in the state.
The Fatal Accident Reporting Section (FARS), a federal project in the section, reports detailed information on fatal accidents directly to Washington, DC for statistical analysis.
PERSONNEL SERVICES
COMPUTER SERVICES
The Computer Services Section is responsible for the data entry of information for the computer system and for the coordination of personal computers, hardware and software. The section is composed of three units: Data Central, Application and Support, and Personal Computer Unit.
The Data Central Unit handles the keypunching of accident reports, arrest ticket disposition, driver license applications, manually reported no-fault insurance cancellations and motor vehicle reports not required on magnetic tape. The unit also handles error correction for driver license issuance records and the reinstatement of revoked or suspended driver license.
The Personal Computer Unit provides support for PC users in the department and for field users for Driver License issuance and Motor Vehicle Report (MVR). This unit provides software programming and hardware maintenance to PC users in headquarters. Testing of the CDL program and debugging was accomplished in 1989.
The unit compiles the computer budget and submits the EDP plan for the department. This unit is also responsible for the acquisition of equipment and software.
The records system for Emission Control was improved and programs were implemented for the Training Section and Safety Education. Computer training was conducted for examiners on new CDL and CAI programs and for post secretaries on E-Mail and MVR's.
TRAINING
The Training Section is responsible for all departmental training, including new recruits, mandated in-service, specialized/advanced, civilian and individual requests.
During 1989, programs were held for sworn and civilian personnel and included a variety of training from computer courses to firearms conversion.
Forty-eight schools were held for civilian personnel and attended by 86 employees. There were 39 schools for sworn personnel which were attended by 204 troopers.
The Section also began the 28 weeks of intensive training for the 64th Trooper School that included field and academic training.
The firearms conversion course to the semi-automatic weapons was completed by 764 sworn members.
An ongoing responsibility of Training is to develop and administer the GSP promotion exam. T h e exam was taken by approximately 550 people in 1989.
Plans for 1990 include the completion of the 64th Trooper School, implementation of the Physical Fitness~WellnessProgram and the 20 hour annual mandated training for sworn personnel.
The Application Support/RJE Unit has the primary responsibility of transmitting all batch data processed by the Driver Services Section and the Accident Reporting Section to the DOAS mainframe in order to keep the appropriate systems as current as possible.
Other responsibilities include all programming that is required on the Nixdorf Data Entry Systems to accurately perform any new data entry jobs; maintaining trooper monthly activity reports for statistical information; and the exchange of National Driver Registry data to Washington on a daily basis.
An RJE link was established with Equifax Services, Inc. to supply requested MVR information to Equifax and their customers. This eliminated handling of 480 magnetic tapes each year.
In 1989, 11 MVR tape users turned in 2.8 million requests.
In order to keep the National Driver Registry current on Georgia drivers, the unit transmitted 218,287 suspension and reinstatement records during the year.
