SGTC Criminal Justice Technology advisory committee meets
The South Georgia Technical College Criminal Justice Technology advisory committee met recently in the Criminal Justice Technology classroom on the SGTC Americus campus.
The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Tech faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the Criminal Justice Technology program. SGTC Criminal Justice Technology instructor Teresa McCook provided the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.
The advisory committee members provide information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new training opportunities that are available in the field of criminal justice, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
Members present at the advisory meeting were Chief Mike Tracy of Georgia Southwestern State University Campus Police, Chief Chris Hall of the Georgia Department of Community Supervision, Warden Jimmy Colson of the Sumter County Correctional Institute, and Chief Blake Hill of the Southwestern Judicial Misdemeanor Probation Office. Also present at the meeting was Dean for Academic Affairs Vanessa Wall.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
