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.”
