Georgia State Patrol (GSP) is a division of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. It is the primary state patrol agency for the U.S. state of Georgia, established in March 1937. Although focused primarily on the enforcement of traffic laws and investigation of traffic crashes, the GSP supports the efforts of all public safety agencies to reduce criminal activity, apprehend those involved, and respond to natural and manmade disasters.
