Yobo体育 Law Enforcement Academy advisory committee meets
The South Georgia Technical College Law Enforcement Academy advisory committee met recently in the LEA classroom on the Yobo体育 Americus Campus.
The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Technical College faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the Law Enforcement Academy. Yobo体育 LEA Program Director Brett Murray and Yobo体育 Criminal Justice Technology instructor Teresa McCook provided the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.
The advisory committee members provide information to Yobo体育 faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new training opportunities that are available in the field of Law Enforcement, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
Members present at the advisory meeting were Chief Eric Finch of the Montezuma Police Department, Lt. Tony Bobbitt of the Sumter County Sheriff鈥檚 Office, Capt. Michael Fraser of the Crisp County Sheriff鈥檚 Office, and Sgt. Eric English of the Americus Police Department. Yobo体育 Dean for Academic Affairs Vanessa Wall was also present at the meeting.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
