Look: Bartow's New Traffic Enforcement Patrol Cars
The Bartow County Sheriff's Office now has three, but the fleet will grow to six. Tell us what you think of them in the comments.
The Bartow County Sheriff's Office now has three new patrol cars that will be dedicated to enforcing traffic laws as part of its Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic partnership with the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
The fleet of dark blue vehicles displaying "Bartow County Sheriff" and "H.E.A.T." will grow to six, said Sgt. Jonathan Rogers.
Bartow Commissioner Steve Taylor last week okayed the partnership, which included a $246,000 grant aimed at combating impaired and aggressive drivers, also called aggressive traffic, which is one of the leading causes of crashes that result in serious injuries and fatalities on Georgia roadways, according to the GOHS.
The program won't cost the county for at least two years, according to Sheriff Clark Millsap.
