SGTC Criminal Justice Technology Advisory Committee Meets

The South Georgia Technical College Criminal Justice Technology advisory committee met recently in the Criminal Justice classroom on the SGTC Americus Campus to discuss the link between the school and the career field. The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Technical College faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the Criminal Justice Technology programs. 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 Sumter County Sheriff Pete Smith; Chief Chris Hall, Georgia Department of Community Supervision; Lt. Tony Bobbitt, SGTC Criminal Justice Adjunct Instructor; Teresa McCook, SGTC Criminal Justice Instructor; Major Brett Murray, SGTC Law Enforcement Academy; and SGTC 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.
