Dalton's newest police officer received his badge and graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training Class #065 of the Northwest Georgia Police Academy on Friday, March 14th.
The academy lasts approximately 10 weeks. Instruction during the academy includes classes on Georgia law & criminal procedures, search and seizure, patrol techniques, CPR/first aid, accident investigation, emergency driving techniques and others.
Officer Jacob Burger will now enter the field training phase, monitored by an experienced training officer. If he completes the additional sixteen (16) weeks of field training, he will be ready for solo patrol.

I was hoping for others to see the amazingly inspirational LE story of Mike Kralicek.
Here's the video, http://www.policeone.com/policeonetv/clip/1670391/
He was shot LOD, became a paraplegic, and is now a motivational speaker.
I just want more brothers in blue to hear his story.
