The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) hosted a graduation ceremony for 17 community services officers on Oct. 17, at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, including one Milledgeville officer.
“I am grateful for our community officers' dedication and commitment to serving our youth,” said DJJ Commissioner Shawanda Reynolds-Cobb. “These officers supervise youth in the field, supplying supportive counseling and case management. DJJ is fortunate to have this group of skilled individuals to help support our efforts in Georgia communities.”
Basic Community Services Training is a 200-hour course that provides Juvenile Probation parole specialists and Juvenile Program managers with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their duties in support of the DJJ mission.
The graduating class included staff from 17 Georgia cities, including Murrayville, Blairsville, Jakin, Blakley, Bainbridge, Royston, Dallas, Metter, Rome, Blackshear, Colquitt, Sparta, Athens, Waycross, Milledgeville, Barnesville, and Vienna.
