The Tennessee Governor's Highway Safety Office announced last week the awarding of more than $18 million to support highway safety in Tennessee. According to a press-release statement, the funds support the mission of the GHSO to save lives and reduce injuries on Tennessee roadways through leadership, innovation, coordination and program support in partnership with numerous public and private organizations. The Dyersburg Police Department was awarded a $5,000 grant, which Patrol Commander Capt. Steve Isbell says will be used to focus on alcohol-related accidents.
