NPD Receives the Governor's Office of Highway Safety Award

Our police department continues to shine...way to go Norcross PD!

Norcross Police Department recently received a Certificate of Appreciation for its outstanding dedication and service to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety and the Metro Atlanta Traffic Enforcement Network.

The Metro Atlanta Traffic Enforcement Network (MATEN) includes Dekalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Fayette, Clayton, and Henry Counties.  It is one of the sixteen traffic enforcement networks across the state of Georgia.

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.  Guest speakers and panelists have included state and municipal court judges, prosecutors, legislators, MADD representatives, Public Service Commission, and ALS judges.
