Goal # 3

Increase the number of agencies participating in the State Certification Program by 10 %.

Over the past year , police agencies across the country have faced intense scrutiny and criticism . One proven process that has mitigated some agencies from being targeted for these issues is the Georgia Law Enforcement State Certification Program . For 25 years , agencies across the State have utilized the state certification program to ensure they meet or exceed established professional and legal standards . Currently , there are 142 agencies participating in this program . This goal is to initiate a process of continued annual growth in the program beginning with increased participation in the next year by at least 10 %.
