A new $1.3 million Georgia State Patrol post was announced Friday for increased security "around the clock" in Buckhead, the Governor's Office said.

It will be posted at the Governor's Mansion and have 12 GSP troopers directly assigned to it, with the capacity for 30 troops to utilize it.

The Governor's Office said the $1.3 million for the post was made available in the Fiscal Year 2024 state budget by the Georgia General Assembly. The post will provide "increased accessibility to and security for the Buckhead community and surrounding areas around the clock," a release said.

It will be a 1,750 square foot facility with a garage bay adjacent to the Mansion. The construction of the post, the Governor's Office said, would "maintain the historical integrity of the Mansion and surrounding grounds."
