About the Specialized Patrol Unit

Established in 2016, the Milledgeville Police Department created the Specialized Patrol Unit to bring together school resource services, traffic enforcement, and community education. This unit enhances community policing, gang intelligence gathering, and youth outreach while supporting field operations and criminal investigations.

As a fully operational division, S.P.U. conducts traffic initiatives, youth programs, school-based education, community outreach, and crime-prevention services across the city.
