Police Cadets Graduate from Police Academy

Three Dalton Police Officers recently graduated from the 10-week basic mandate police officer training at the regional police academy in Dalton.

Following graduation, the officers enter the 17-week Police Officer Training (PTO) program where they will be given hands on instruction in police department procedures and tactics by certified instructors.

Upon completion of the PTO program, officers will be assigned to the patrol division where there daily duties will include the enforcement of local and State laws.
