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. There are currently sixteen regional traffic enforcement networks 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. The Coastal Area Traffic Enforcement Network was the second network to be formed by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
Each Law Enforcement Agency in the State of Georgia is encouraged to participate in a regional Traffic Enforcement Network. If you would like more information, please contact the traffic enforcement network coordinator for your region, Ricky H. Rich, Director of Operations for the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety or Cam Reed, Law Enforcement Coordinator for the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
C.A.T.E.N. consists of thirteen coastal counties. They are Appling, Bacon, Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Pierce, Tattnall, Ware and Wayne.
The Coordinator for C.A.T.E.N. is Capt. W. Luther Hires of the Jesup Police Department. The Assistant Coordinator is Cpl. B. J. Kennedy-Leopold of the Georgia State Patrol.
Sgt. Powell Harrelson of the Pooler Police Department is the Law Enforcement Liaison for the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. Sgt. Harrelson can be reached at 912-748-7333 or by pager 912-495-6610 or Cellular 404-535-9903.
If you would like to be added to the Georgia Traffic Enforcement Network’s e-mail list serve, please send an e-mail including your name, agency and e-mail address to either Sgt. Van Lewis or Ricky H. Rich directly.

| The first few hours immediately following a child's disappearance are the most critical to bringing them home unharmed. Every hour, day and week that a child is missing, the likelihood that they will be recovered safely decreases drastically. In fact, 74% of abducted children who are murdered are killed within the first 3 hours of abduction. It is because of this sensitivity to time that programs such as the AMBER Plan were created. |
| The AMBER
Plan is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and
broadcasters to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious
child-abduction cases with the hope that ordinary citizens are able to aid
in the search for abducted children. AMBER Alert Net extends the reach of vital AMBER Alerts to computer desktops at home and in the workplace. Through a free small software application, Internet-connected users are now able to receive, print and email AMBER Alerts as they are released by local law-enforcement agencies. |
