PEDS Exposes Officers to Crosswalk Risk

Undercover police officers had several near misses Thursday afternoon in a pedestrian sting operation in downtown Atlanta. The officers, who were dressed like college students, repeatedly crossed streets in crosswalks near Georgia State University as part of an enforcement sting.

The field exercise was part of an all-day Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Workshop organized by PEDS for police officers from 20 jurisdictions across Georgia.
