ATLANTA, Georgia - The Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS) is excited to announce the successful graduation of its 63rd Basic Community Supervision Officer Training (BCSOT) class on Thursday, October 24th, at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) in Forsyth, Georgia. The ceremony commemorates the certification of 32 dedicated graduates as Community Supervision Officers by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (P.O.S.T.).
Throughout an intensive eight-week training program, the BCSOT Cadets underwent rigorous instruction and preparation for their vital roles within the Department.

During BCSOT, the aspiring officers faced academic, mental, and physical challenges that tested their commitment to protecting the citizens of Georgia.
"The Basic Community Supervision Officer Training Course is a demanding program that readies our officers for a fulfilling journey in community supervision. These officers have displayed an inspiring level of dedication, teamwork, and resilience over the past eight weeks.” said Lori A. Massengale, Director of Training and Professional Development. “Today marks their graduation, and we eagerly anticipate the impact they'll make on our state's citizens.”

We have to take each day with a deliberate goal to be both change agents and law enforcement officers to the best of our abilities. We owe that to the lives we touch and our families to do our very best, giving it all we have in us daily.”
