Holly Springs Deputy Chief Attends Training

Deputy Chief Mike Carswell with the Holly Springs Police Department recently attended the Chief Executive Training Class. 

The class, which is for newly appointed chiefs of police and heads of law enforcement agencies, was held at the Dr. Curtis E. McClung Training Center in Duluth from March 24 through April 2.

The 60-hour course, provided by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, is required by state law for all newly appointed heads of law enforcement agencies.  

The curriculum is designed to give newly appointed law enforcement administrators and command staff personnel training on police management, as well as inform them of laws and policies affecting their departments.  

Deputy Chief Carswell was among 50 law enforcement administrators attending the course.  

The Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police provides the executive training for newly appointed heads of law enforcement agencies and command staff personnel twice a year, along with several other training programs throughout the state.  

It is the largest professional association for law enforcement administrators in Georgia, and one of the largest in the country. 

The membership of over 1,700 includes executives representing municipal and county law enforcement agencies, college and university police departments, corporate and private security firms and numerous state and federal agencies.
