DJJ Annual Vehicle Compliance Inspection Sign-Up 2026

DJJ’s Annual Vehicle Compliance Inspection will be held the week of May 18, 2026.
 

To minimize commute distances for staff, the inspections will be conducted at two (2) separate locations throughout the state.

The initial round of inspections will take place at Central Office and the final at Milledgeville.

Please note, it is mandatory for all agency vehicles to be inspected. As such, it is imperative that everyone makes this a priority and make the appropriate arrangements to adhere to the schedule provided.

If your vehicle has already been inspected by one of our Fleet Compliance Specialist during a scheduled site visit; you are not required to schedule a date. Please adhere to the time frames.

The inspection schedule is as follows:

To ensure your assigned vehicles comply with the agency’s inspection criteria, please note the following:

1. House Bill 673, also known as the “Hands Free Law” was passed by the Georgia General Assembly. Effective July 1, 2018, it is illegal to hold your mobile device while operating a vehicle in Georgia. State vehicles MUST be equipped with hands-free mobile device holders. Please be certain you have taken the appropriate steps to have your assigned vehicle equipped with an approved hands-free device. Any vehicle not equipped with a state issued hands-free mobile device holder in the vehicle (or an authorized alternative) will be found to be non-compliant.

    

2. Each vehicle should have a logbook in the vehicle which contains a fuel card, Motor Vehicle logs, and a current Liability Insurance Card. The vehicle should also be equipped with a First Aid Kit and up to date fire extinguisher. All vehicles should display mandated decals (vehicle numbers, how’s my driving sticker, etc.), maintenance stickers, and/or at a minimum, maintain any applicable records of scheduled maintenance performed on the vehicle. Vehicles should also be fueled at least once every 15-30 days to avoid appearing on the no-fuel list.

    

3. Fire Extinguisher Service will be handled individually based on location (i.e., Facilities, CSO, etc.)                                    

   Note: Fire Extinguishers are only required if transporting youth.

   Please utilize the Vehicle Extinguisher Service List.

   Please note: All services will be processed by the individual office/department and charged to your budget.

4. The assigned driver or designated vehicle coordinator should ensure any physical damage to state vehicles (e.g., dents, scratches, broken equipment, cracked windshield) is reported immediately to the Office of Property Management (OPM) prior to inspection. Any unreported damage to state vehicles found during inspection will be immediately reported through the appropriate chain of command.

5. During previous inspections, the most noted infractions were: (1) no or low coolant in reservoirs, (2) low or no windshield wiper fluid. Please be sure to check and address these issues prior to inspection, if applicable. 

    

6. State vehicles should be presentable and clean on a day-to-day basis. Please ensure the vehicle’s exterior and interior have been detailed and are free of soil as much as possible.  Please utilize the Holman approved Car Wash Vendor List.  Ensure all equipment is stored neatly and safely in the vehicle.

Unless there are exigent circumstances (e.g., inclement weather conditions, pending repair or maintenance that affects safely operating the vehicle), please ensure your vehicles are available to be inspected on the designated inspection day(s). If you have questions and/or concerns, please be sure to contact a member of our Fleet Team.

Thank you,
Fleet Management
