WHAT IS H.E.A.T.?
H.E.A.T. stands for: Highway Enforcement of Aggressive
Traffic.
H.E.A.T. is designed to educate the public and enforce laws
related to impaired and aggressive driving. Each officer
assigned to the unit is armed with materials to educate
Walton County citizens about our laws related to aggressive
and impaired driving. Education and Enforcement must go hand
in hand if we are to be successful in reducing the number of
crashes, fatalities and injuries in Walton County. The State
of Georgia was the first State to create a
multi-jurisdictional task force to address aggressive and
impaired driving. Originally, three officers from six
counties and the City of College Park and the City of
Atlanta came together to form a team of twenty-four officers
to form H.E.A.T. Since this formation, the H.E.A.T. team has
continued to grow into 26 agencies including the Walton
County Sheriff’s Office in 2005.
Walton County Sheriff’s Office H.E.A.T. Unit Goals
• Reduce the number of impaired driving and speed related
crashes in Walton County.
• Aggressively Enforce laws targeting Aggressive Driving in

Aggressive traffic (speed and drunk driving among the worst
behaviours) has been determined to be one of the leading
causes of death and serious injury crashes on the roadways
of Georgia.
