GACP Peer Support Committee
On November 26, 2019, twenty-six GACP
members met at the Georgia Public Safety
Training Center for the first official Chief’s
Peer Support training. This training, orga-
nized by the GACP Peer Support Commit-
tee, introduced their plans to establish a
team of GACP Chiefs and Command Staff
throughout the state who can offer support to
law enforcement executives during times of
crisis.
Director of the recently established Office
of Public Safety Support, GSP Captain
Andy Carrier, and Assistant Director, GBI
ASAC Wes Horne, provided the training
and gave an overview of the services of-
fered through the program. One of the
organization’s primary goals is to certify
public safety officers throughout the state
as legally recognized peer counselors.
The GACP Chief’s Peer Support will work
in conjunction with the Office of Public
Safety Support to ensure the team of
GACP Chief Peer Support Group members
have the appropriate credentials and train-
ing to provide quality services for other
law enforcement executives.
The GACP Peer Support Committee
welcomes any member who is interested
in joining the group. A meeting will be
held during the 2020 Winter Conference
on Monday, February 10, 2020 from 9:30
am – 10:45 am. Please refer to the GACP
mobile conference app for further details.
