Atlanta police officers can now turn their academy training into college credit, making it easier than ever to earn an associate degree in criminal justice. Georgia Piedmont Technical College is recognizing the hard work of APD officers by giving them 27 credits for their training—meaning they’re already halfway to a degree. Even better, the rest of the classes can be done online in about a year, and most officers will qualify for financial aid. This move could really change the game for career advancement and community policing. What do you think—will this help strengthen the force and build trust in Atlanta? #Education #College #Atlanta
