Mission

The Governor's Office of Highway Safety, in cooperation with state and local law enforcement agencies, has organized regional Traffic Enforcement Networks around the State of Georgia.

The Appalachian Trail Traffic Enforcement Network (ATTEN) is one of the sixteen regional traffic enforcement networks currently servicing all 159 counties in Georgia.

The regional networks are open to all sworn law enforcement officers and prosecutors and are designed to enhance traffic enforcement activities through networking, training and legislation. The networks serve as a catalyst for traffic enforcement officers to voice their concerns and share ideas with their counterparts from other agencies in their region.

Guest speakers frequently attend monthly network meetings and share their thoughts, experiences, and opinions with the network members. These guest speakers have included state and municipal court judges, prosecutors, legislators, and MADD representatives.  

Lt. Eddie Gilmore (ret) was honored during the 2011 MADD Golden Shield Honor Awards Banquet in Atlanta, GA, on March 24, 2011.

Lt. Gilmore was presented the
"MADD Golden Achievement Award"
for his long and industrious career in law enforcement.

Meetings

Each month, ATTEN holds a meeting to allow the law enforcement representatives from the 7-county area to come together and exchange ideas and receive training in traffic-related subjects. A meal is usually served as a part of the meeting, and a roadcheck is also conducted.
