BEWARE: You may be on Lavonia's radar

Speeders in Lavonia better beware. The Lavonia Police Department has received permission from both the state and the city council to begin using police radar on the state highways that run through the city. via Franklin County Citizen

[Lavonia Resident]

Let the State Police govern the state highways and The Local Police patrol and maintain safety in our muncipality....If it is too boreing to work for our city then go work for the State...But stay away from making a speed trap out of Lavonia Just to have something to do... Maybe there are too many Officers working for the City Now!

I think the Chief and his officers have one of the most professionally run, and staffed Police Departments in our area. I am a Hartwell resident. There is no comparison
Lavonia Officers always look sharp and so does their equipment. I believe the level of training they receive(to be such a small dept.) says a lot about the leadership of Chief Shirley They seem to always looking to get better to me. Hey but who am I to say. only 34 years on the road and in the woods
Let's pray for all our Peace Officers and Our Troops in the Field..........cdg
