With the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in full swing, we reflect on the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games held in Atlanta. 28 years ago, over 10,000 athletes from 127 countries descended upon Atlanta to compete in 26 Olympic sports. Troopers assisted in a wide variety of roles for the Centennial Olympics such as the torch relay, which began in the Greek city of Olympia and ended at Centennial Olympic Stadium. Troopers not only ran with the Olympic torch, but also escorted the relay in specially outfitted BMW patrol cars donated to DPS by BMW. We are thankful to have one fully restored BMW on display at our Headquarters in Atlanta. #tbt #gatrooper #ParisOlympics
