GRADY COUNTY, Ga. (WALB) - The Grady County Sheriff’s Office announced on Facebook that Operation Southern Slow Down will start on Monday, July 14.

According to the sheriff’s office, the week-long campaign will cover Georgia, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

The sheriff’s office said the campaign targets speeding and aggressive driving to reduce crashes and save lives.
