Chris Walker , CC , Coweta Circuit
Community Coordinator Chris Walker of the Coweta Circuit , entered into a partnership with the LaGrange Police Department to assist with the cost for preemployment drug screens . This has been an ongoing challenge in the area for employment with New Ventures Inc . The local police department will now be able to assist those individuals referred from the local DCS office with indigent funds . This is another example of community collaboration as this has cost previous individuals the opportunity for employment by not having the $ 10 for a drug screen .
