New Dalton Officers Graduate From Police Academy

Three new Dalton Police Officers received their badges and graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training Class #063 of the Northwest Georgia Police Academy on Friday, September 14th.

The academy lasts approximately 10 weeks. Instruction during the academy includes classes on Georgia law and criminal procedures; search and seizure; patrol techniques; CPR/first aid; accident investigation; emergency driving techniques, and others. 

These officers will now enter the field training phase, monitored by an experienced training officer. If the officers complete the additional twelve (12) weeks of field training, they will be ready for solo patrol.
