Chief Janet Moon | Incoming GACP President
Pursuant to this meeting the following goals were establis
Goal # 1
Create a series of advance ‘ certifications ’ for police chiefs beyond the basic Chief Executive Training Course ( CETC ).
Every newly appointed police chief is required by state law to attend the ‘ next available ’ Chief Executive Training Class provided the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police . This program is designed to provide attendees a foundation of knowledge . The goal of this initiative is to design topic focused ‘ levels of certification ’ from GACP that provide attendees in-depth knowledge and skills to address complex topics .
Goal # 2
Create a Public Education Program regarding challenges police officers face and how qualified immunity works .
Recent incidents of police misconduct and the resulting protests have led to calls for police reform and the abolition of qualified immunity for police officers . Many of these demands are based upon misinformation that have led some citizens to have false impressions of and beliefs about our officers . There are no simple answers for difficult problems . The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive public education initiative that outlines the multi-faceted challenges agencies face , the need for comprehensive solutions , and the importance of qualified immunity .
