# O.C.G.A. § 35-2-57. Use of retired unmarked pursuit cars for training.

When an unmarked pursuit vehicle used by the Uniform Division for the purpose of enforcing the traffic laws of this state is first removed from the field and will no longer be used on a regular basis for pursuit purposes, the commissioner is authorized, in his or her discretion, to make such pursuit vehicle available to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center for the purpose of training public safety officers pursuant to Chapter 5 of this title. Such vehicles may also be sold or traded pursuant to Code Section 35-2-58. Upon notification by the commissioner, the administrator of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center shall be authorized to take immediate possession of any such pursuit vehicle.

## History

Code 1981, § 35-2-57, enacted by Ga. L. 1987, p. 317, § 1; Ga. L. 2012, p. 1, § 1/HB 253; Ga. L. 2025, p. 1029, § 35(7)/SB 153, effective July 1, 2025.

## Cross References

Georgia Public Safety Training Center Act, § 35-5-1 et seq.

## Editor's Notes

The former Code section, relating to false representation as a police officer, was based on Ga. L. 1937, p. 322, art. 2, § 1 and Ga. L. 1960, p. 247, § 1, and was repealed by Ga. L. 1986, p. 1059, § 3, effective April 7, 1986. For current provisions regarding falsely holding oneself out to be a peace officer or other public officer or employee, see Code Section 16-10-23.

## Amendments

The 2025 amendment, effective July 1, 2025, part of an Act to revise, modernize, and correct the Code, substituted “Uniform Division” for “Georgia State Patrol” and deleted “of public safety” following “commissioner” in the first sentence.
