CLEVELAND, Ga. — The Cleveland Police Department has received a $13,065.60 grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). The money comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The grant supports a program called High Visibility Enforcement. It focuses on reducing crashes, injuries, and deaths on Georgia roads through education and enforcement.
“Each life saved on our roads is one less family that will have to live with the pain of losing a loved one whose life was taken from them in a traffic crash that was completely preventable,” said GOHS Director Allen Poole.
Police Chief Jeff Shoemaker said the department is grateful for the funding. “This grant will help us strengthen our traffic enforcement and keep our roads safer for everyone,” he said.
Cleveland police officers will continue to target dangerous driving behaviors like speeding and impaired driving through statewide campaigns such as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket.” The grant runs through September 2026.
