All requests for training approval shall be submitted to the GACP Training Director, where it will be reviewed and either approved/disapproved. Confirmations of approval/disapproval are sent by fax, normally within a couple of days.

The following information should be submitted with all requests:

• Data supporting the training as executive/management level training (syllabus, course curriculum, etc.)
• Lesson plan
• Qualifications of the presenter
• Number of hours requested by attendee towards executive/management training
• Certificate of Completion showing amount of hours obtained (if available)
• For IACP Training, copies of the paper slips from the card reader showing hours for each program

Upon completion of the training, the above information along with a GACP Training Approval Form must be submitted to the GACP Training Director in order to have the training approved and placed on your record here in our office.

The use of any G.A.C.P. or Chiefs Training codes that are listed on the POST website will NOT be accepted for credit unless approved by the GACP Executive Director or GACP Training Director.

For the definition of agency/department head, refer to Georgia Code 35-8-2 (4) which states:

“Department Head” means the chief executive or head of a state department or agency, a county, a municipality, or a railroad who is a peace officer and whose responsibilities include the supervision and assignment of one or more employees or the performance of administrative and managerial duties of a police agency or law enforcement unit. 

As a general rule, training classes that directly relate to your job function as the agency/department head of the agency are normally approved.

Training classes such as firearms requalification and use of deadly force, report writing, defensive driving, and courtroom demeanor are several examples of training programs that are disapproved for Chiefs’ credit. 

For classes held at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC), please visit their website for registration information:
