| (Decatur, GA) – The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) held a graduation ceremony for 56 newly trained Juvenile Correctional Officer (JCO) cadets on Friday, May 17, at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, Ga. The cadets have joined the ranks of other JCOs at DJJ secure facilities across the state.
“Our Juvenile Correctional Officers work to ensure a safe and secure environment for rehabilitating and transforming the young lives we serve,” said DJJ Commissioner Shawanda Reynolds-Cobb. “I am thankful for these new officers’ commitment to helping justice-involved youth take steps towards a bright future.”
Basic Juvenile Correctional Officer Training (BJCOT) is a 200-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 and performance-oriented studies.
The graduates are assigned to a DJJ detention center or development campus in Bibb, Chatham, Clayton, Cobb, Crisp, Dalton, Dodge, DeKalb, Evans, Floyd, Fulton, Hall, Laurens, Muscogee, Richmond, Rockdale, Thomas, Ware, and Wilkes counties.
