The Cherokee County School District Police Department was notified recently that its status as a Certified Agency, first achieved in 2006, has been renewed by the Joint Review Committee of the State of Georgia Law Enforcement Certification Program, according to a press release.
This is the highest level of State accreditation that local law enforcement agencies can earn, and it is rare for school police departments to complete the required rigorous review. CCSD’s Department, which is led by Chief Buster Cushing, is one of only five school police departments in the State to hold this certification.
The Certification Program provides a comprehensive blueprint for effective and professional law enforcement, and recertification is required every three years to maintain this accreditation.
