Stuck on the Side of Awesome (or Just the Side of the Road): How to Reach Georgia's Highway Heroes
Let's face it, folks, Georgia's roads are as scenic as a Dolly Parton music video, but sometimes, even the most picturesque highway can turn into a bit of a bummer. Maybe you've got a flat tire that's flatter than your wallet after a weekend at Waffle House, or perhaps you've witnessed a situation that needs a friendly face in a blue uniform. That's where the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) swoops in, like a knight in shining armor...except their armor comes with flashing lights and a radar detector.
But here's the thing: when you need them, how do you actually contact these guardians of the interstate? Fear not, fellow traveler, for this here guide will have you reaching out to the GSP faster than you can say "peach fuzz."

| How Do I Contact Georgia Highway Patrol |
Calling All Cars (or Just One Car)
The quickest and easiest way to get in touch with the GSP is by giving them a ring. Their main line is (404) 624-7700. Remember this number! Store it in your phone, write it on your steering wheel in ketchup if you must (though we recommend against that), but have it handy.
Now, here's the fun part! When you call, you might get to play phone tag with a real live trooper! How cool is that? You could be chatting with the folks who ensure Georgia's roadways are safe and smooth. Just be polite, explain the situation, and they'll get you sorted.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
Fax? Carrier Pigeon? Not Quite, But Close Enough
While the GSP might not have a fax machine gathering dust in the corner (although that would be an awesome museum exhibit), they do have a mailing address: Georgia State Patrol, P.O. Box 1456, Atlanta, GA 30301.
Now, this likely won't be your first choice for contacting them in an emergency, but hey, if you're stuck at a rest stop with nothing but a postcard and a dream, this is an option (although it might take a while for them to get your snail mail).
Face-to-Face Fridays (or Any Day, Really)
If you find yourself near the GSP headquarters at 959 United Avenue SE, Atlanta, GA 30316, you can always swing by for a face-to-face chat. Who knows, you might even get a selfie with a trooper! Just remember, their main priority is keeping the roads safe, so be patient if they're busy.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Important Note: If you're in need of immediate assistance, calling them is always the fastest and most effective way to get help.
