FOCUS: Snellville, other cities use cop cab to send drivers a message

By Brian Arrington | Snellville’s Cop Cab isn’t alone on Georgia roads.

The roving billboard which encourages those who see it not to drink and drive, is one of at least five such police vehicles in the state. It has been in use in Snellville since June of 2014. Councilman Bobby Howard says: “The idea behind the Cop Cab is to make sure people think before they drink and drive. I’m glad to see other cities spreading that same message using cars like the one we have in Snellville.”
