Gov. Brian Kemp has directed $5 million from his emergency fund to the Georgia Department of Public Safety to help curb crime in Atlanta.
Kemp said the department must use the money to continue the state s efforts to curtail street racing, human trafficking and gang violence. This funding – up to $5 million through the end of June – will assist the Department of Public Safety and their partners in their mission to stop crime before it happens, and ensure law-breakers are brought to justice, Kemp said Monday in a video message. The state of Georgia will continue to use every resource at its disposal to rid our communities of crime and keep Georgia families safe.
