Training
The Training Division supports the District Attorney and Solicitor-General offices, as well as law enforcement professionals across the State of Georgia, by providing general and topic-specific education to help them earn and maintain mandatory continuing education credits. Our vision is to offer the highest-quality in-person and virtual training programs, with a focus on delivering valuable, relevant education for those dedicated to serving victims in Georgia.
In 2024 alone, the Division issued around 18,606.5 CLE and POST certification credits, trained more than 6,000 prosecutors, law enforcement, victim advocates, investigators, and office administrators and produced more than 180 training opportunities. This comes to life through our speakers, trainers, and partners who share and volunteer their experience and expertise with the prosecution and law enforcement community members. Here is a snapshot of the curriculum you’ll experience at PAC:
- Basic Litigation Boot Camp
- Train the Trainer
- Fundamentals into Prosecution
- Gang Cases: From the Crime Scene to the Courtroom
- Advanced Murder Conference and Murder 101
- Elder Abuse and Juvenile Training
- Animal Crimes and Family Violence Training
- Joint Law Enforcement & Prosecutor Impaired Driver Training and ARIDE for Prosecutors
- Lethal Weapon and From Stop to State Court
- Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) Conference and Court School for Advocates
As you can see, the curriculum is diverse yet focused on specific challenges Georgia prosecutors and law enforcement face in the courtroom and in the field. The Division adds new topics, conferences, and trainings every day and provides different ways to learn either through attending conferences, one-day and two-day trainings, or webinars.
At any time, if you have questions or would like to make speaker or topic suggestions, you can send an email to us at training@pacga.org or continue to visit the website. It’s an honor and privilege to serve Georgia and the prosecution and law enforcement communities through training and development.
