The mission of each JTO is to give each trainee the utmost opportunity to succeed in his training, correct the trainee when mistakes are made, and maximize the safety of the trainee. In addition, this is the JTO’s introduction to leadership and advisory skills. This 40-hour training course will provide the JTO the knowledge and skills required as they prepare for future supervisory positions.

Employees of Georgia’s Sheriff’s offices serving as jail officers, demonstrating excellent knowledge of jail operations and exhibiting a desirable work ethic and commitment to excellence, possessing very good interpersonal skills and a willingness to train newly appointed jail officers, are excellent candidates as part of their respective facility’s Jail Training and Evaluation Program.
