SAVANNAH, Ga. — Savannah police officers get into crashes at more than twice the rate of Atlanta police, leaving victims with limited financial recourse compared to accidents involving private citizens, a WTOC investigation found.

WTOC Investigates previously found that people are over two times more likely to get into a crash with a police officer in Savannah than in Atlanta. GDOT data shows from January 2022 to April 2025, the Savannah Police Department was involved in 469 crashes, while Atlanta Police Department was involved in 680 crashes in the same period. But Savannah is much smaller than Atlanta, meaning SPD officers get in crashes at double the rate of Atlanta PD officers.
