BLETC MISSION

The Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) Basic Training Division enhances the professionalism of public safety by providing law enforcement mandate academies that create a balance between paramilitary and academia that better prepares and is more suited to the 21^st Century Officer.

The 21^st Century Officer is the officer that utilizes their high tech skills, solid character and engaging social behavior while applying their critical thinking skills to the performance of problem oriented policing.

The course of instruction at the Basic Training Division is designed to achieve that mission by providing instructional activities that enable the recruit to acquire the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to serve his or her community. The goal of the eleven week Basic Training Division Academy curriculum is to provide cadet officers with the basic knowledge and skill necessary for safe, proper and effective law enforcement service. The instructional objectives cover numerous subjects, but, throughout the program, there is a common thread of community policing with a focus on being guardians who are prepared to respond as warriors when needed.

In pursuit of our shared mission, the staff of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center is committed to the following:

PROFESSIONALISM

We commit to service, while demonstrating a positive attitude and mastery of knowledge, skills, and abilities within our roles.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We acknowledge that we are accountable to everyone we serve, and to each other for our actions and decisions. We welcome that responsibility.

INTEGRITY

We value candor, honesty, and ethical behavior. We are committed to doing the right thing for the right reason.

These Core Values will be adhered to and used as benchmarks for decision-making and personal interaction with recruits, co-workers, and stakeholders.
