The Peace Officer Academy at Savannah Technical College is in its third year of classes preparing men and women to become Georgia police officers.

The Academy opened its doors in January, 2009, and, at the end of 2011, had graduated 9 classes. Our graduates have gone on to careers with law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Georgia. Our placement rate is nearly 98%.

 

Class sizes are limited to 25. As applications are completed and accepted by P.O.S.T. a list will be started and the first 25 will comprise the class.
