Jail Training Officer CertificationLodgingTraining InfoRegistrationContact UsFinal Details

The Jail Training Officer’s primary goal is to prepare the newly hired trainee to perform at an acceptable level and become an asset to the jail division. During this process, the JTO will train, observe, and evaluate the progress of each trainee. The mission of each JTO is to give each trainee the utmost opportunuty 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.

Upon passing the test and meeting the employment requirements, the student may apply for his JTO Certification through POST.

Pre-requiste: The student must be a P.O.S.T. certified jail officer with a minimum of three years jail officer experience, with the past year serving with your current agency.
