List of law enforcement agencies in Georgia

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This is a list of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. state of Georgia. All of these agencies are certified by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council or POST which means these agencies have full arrest power and authority and the ability to carry and use handcuffs, OC spray, expandable ASP baton and bear arms. All peace officers in the state of Georgia are required to be certified by POST before they can have the powers as sworn law enforcement officers in the state of Georgia

According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics' 2008 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, the state had 628 law enforcement agencies employing 26,551 sworn police officers, about 274 for each 100,000 residents.[1]
