McCaysville Police Chief Mike Earley will again serve as assistant coordinator of the Appalachian Trail Traffic Enforcement Network of the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS).
Earley was elected to a second, three-year term when the network’s regular meeting was hosted by the Young Harris College Police Department. That meeting was held Tuesday, July 13.
The network represents eight counties in Northwest Georgia including Fannin.
Among other duties, the GOHS coordinates several high visibility enforcement campaigns including Click It or Ticket, Operation Zero Tolerance and 100 Days of Summer Heat.
Operation Zero Tolerance and 100 Days of Summer Heat both concentrate on getting impaired drivers off Georgia’s roadways. The Summer Heat program utilizes concentrated patrols on the state’s highways to achieve its mission.
Earley has previously served as the network’s coordinator.
