HINESVILLE, Ga.– Recently, several new traffic laws went into effect within the state of Georgia. To explain those new laws and how they will be enforced, the Hinesville Police Department (HPD) will host a traffic enforcement and awareness seminar on Sat., July 24, from 1-3 p.m. The seminar, which is free and open to the public, will take place at HPD headquarters, located at 123 E. M. L. King, Jr. Dr. Curbing the number of traffic-related incidents, collisions, injuries and deaths is a top priority for HPD. “The goal in hosting this traffic seminar is to educate the public on the rules of the road and to keep my promise to be transparent to all community stakeholders,” Chief Lloyd Slater said. The traffic seminar will be taught by HPD’s Traffic Accident Investigation Unit (TAI). Cpl. Michael Ramirez, a seasoned traffic accident investigator, will provide instruction to participants on speed detection, DUI enforcement, the license plate reader system and traffic accident investigations. The seminar will include both a lecture portion and hands-on demonstration. At the conclusion of the seminar, there will be a question and answer session. The traffic seminar is free and open to the public. If you have any questions, Cpl. Ramirez can be contacted at 912-368-8211 or mrameriz@cityofhinesville.org.
