Through the creation of the Citizens Police Academy, the Georgia Tech community now has the opportunity to learn how the Georgia Tech Police Department (GTPD) — with its more than 80 sworn officers — is specifically trained to help ensure the community’s safety.
“GTPD deploys some of the most sophisticated technology and training methods in the country to protect our community members,” said Randy Barrone, captain of GTPD’s administrative division. “We have found that building awareness of what we actually do as a police department is a great way to connect to those we protect.”
This spring, GTPD will conduct its third Citizens Police Academy class and is inviting the campus community to participate.
