Who provides the curriculum and teaching staff for POST training in Georgia?

The provision of the curriculum and teaching staff for POST training in Georgia is the responsibility of accredited training academies. These academies are specifically designed and authorized to deliver the necessary educational programs that prepare individuals to meet the standards set by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.

Accredited training academies ensure that training adheres to state regulations and standards, providing recruits with essential knowledge and skills vital for their roles as peace officers. These academies are staffed by experienced professionals who have expertise in law enforcement training, ensuring that the curriculum is both relevant and comprehensive in addressing the needs of law enforcement agencies across Georgia.

State universities may provide educational courses related to criminal justice or law enforcement, but they are not primarily responsible for delivering the POST training curriculum. Local law enforcement agencies are typically the recipients of trained personnel rather than the providers of the training curriculum. Private security firms focus on training for their own personnel and do not play a role in developing or administering POST training for peace officers.
