POST training alert for Georgia law enforcement officers

Georgia Division

Oct 30, 2012

Effective January 1, 2013 any officer that has not completed the minimum annual POST training requirements for 2012 will have their certification suspended. On January 1^st POST will notify officers that they will have until January 30^th to update their training records with any outstanding training from 2012.

On January 31^st if the officer’s training record is not updated, POST will notify officers that their certification has been suspended for failure to complete the required annual training. Officers that did not complete the training will be required to make up the incomplete training and apply for a waiver. Be aware POST has instituted a fee policy and officers will be looking at a minimum expense of $200 for a 1^st offense.

You need to personally check your POST records at https://www.gpostc.org/rtt/login.php to ensure any training you attended in 2012 is on file with POST. To avoid last minute problems, you may want to consider getting this corrected before the end of the year. Of course if you know you are short of the minimum hours you have just two months left.

Underneath the Spanish-moss-covered oak trees of Savannah, Georgia, Hudson Zaragoza was raised in a very close-knit family. In fact, Hudson and his sister, Adeline, couldn?t possibly be much closer without being twins ? they were born just 11 months apart. Hudson?s dad, PBA member Michael Zaragoza, reflected on having two children so close together, noting that Hudson and Adeline were always very competitive. ?When Hudson played baseball, Adeline had to play. When Adeline started basketball, that meant that Hudson had to play basketball.? The two didn?t have much of a choice but to be close, though ? they were even in the same grade in school ? and Michael said that, despite the constant competition between his Irish twins, he wouldn?t have had it any other way.
