Decatur, GA - The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) hosted a graduation ceremony for 37 newly trained cadets on Friday, July 10, at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, Georgia. These cadets are now Juvenile Correctional Officers (JCO) and will join the ranks of other JCOs at 25 state-run facilities throughout Georgia.

“Our JCOs ensure a safe and secure environment for the rehabilitation of committed youth,” said DJJ Commissioner Tyrone Oliver. “Their duties require maturity, reliability and self-discipline. I am grateful for the commitment of these officers to DJJ and the youth we serve.”

Basic Juvenile Correctional Officer Training is a 240-hour comprehensive program that provides basic skills training in security practices and procedures. To complete the program, a cadet must meet established standards on written examinations that evaluate cognitive knowledge, as well as performance-oriented examinations.

The graduates will be assigned to 16 different secure facilities near their places of residence across Georgia.
