The grant was secured by Major Laura McCullough, assistant director of Public Safety, and is used to obtain the implied consent state-administered breath test for prosecution of drunk-driving offenders. By law, law enforcement agencies must replace older testing units by 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Georgia Southern University Police Department is proud to partner with the Governor\u2019s Office of Highway Safety to help keep everyone safe on our roadways,\u201d said McCullough. \u201cWe are extremely grateful to receive this grant because it enhances our continued efforts to provide a safe environment to the faculty, staff, students and visitors on our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a grant recipient, the University police department must participate in a regional traffic network as well as national highway safety campaigns, including \u201cClick-it or Ticket\u201d and \u201cOperation Zero Tolerance.\u201d Each year, the campus Police Department makes roughly 71 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) arrests. There were 61 in 2009, 85 in 2010, 55 in 2011, 83 in 2012 and 72 DUI arrests in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus Police Receive Grant to Keep Community Safe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-2377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-fall-2014"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ww2.georgiasouthern.edu\/news\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
