# O.C.G.A. § 35-4-9. Attendance not required; academy training programs not to supersede other programs.

It is not the intention of this chapter that it be mandatory that any police officer be required to attend the academy. The training program established at the academy shall not supersede any other training program for police officers but shall be separate and apart from any other training program for police officers.
