Glitches with training documentation that hit the Georgia Department of Public Safety this week had minimal impact in Northeast Georgia, according to Capt. Tommy Waldrop with the Georgia State Patrol. Statewide, about 10 percent of officers, totaling 121 troopers, Capitol Police and motor division compliance officers, were pulled off the job until authorities could verify they had the proper training. In Northeast Georgia, that was eight with the patrol, including one out of the Gainesville post, who was already scheduled to be off on Wednesday, Waldrop said.
