Hands Across the Border
The 22nd Annual Hands Across the Border met last night at the Rabun Elementary School. Hands across the Border brings hundreds of police from Georgia and the neighbouring states together for a common purpose
“What we do this time of year every year, that we join together with one common goal, and that is to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries in each persons state.”
Says GOHS Network Coordinator Griggs Wall
“Our goal in Georgia is to be below a thousand fatalities for this upcoming year. Here lately we’ve been averaging roughly around 1100, 12oo fatalities in Georgia a year.”
Over a Hundred officers participated in last nights activities and then set safety check points up all throughout the City of Clayton and its surrounding areas.
Griggs said that since the program started they have seen a gradual decline in fatalities through the years
