The 160 hour curriculum included classroom instruction emphasizing the duties of the chief law enforcement officer to their county. The State Constitution and the Official Code of Georgia specify the many duties of the Office of Sheriff, including service as detention officers, court offi cers, law enforcement officers and administrators. Class ses sions introduced new sheriffs to these responsibilities, which they will assume January 1st, 2009. State and national Roy Wiley experts also lectured the sher- iffs-elect class on the latest issues concerning jails, civil procedure, personnel and liabil ity issues. The training course was ini tiated by the Georgia's Sheriffs' Association, which drafted leg islation in 1979 requiring every newly elected sheriff to com plete this course during the first term of office. "I want to commend Sheriff-Elect Roy Wiley and this entire group for their com mitment to serve and protect the citizens of their countries," said Terry Norris, Executive Vice President of the Georgia Sheriff's Association. "It's always exciting to meet a new class of sheriffs and I wish each of them luck in their first term." Blood drive Jan. 15 at Civic Center by Beth Reynolds The first community blood drive in Turner County will be Thursday, Jan. 15, at the Turner County Civic Center. The American Red Cross has had a critical shortage of blood during the entire year of 2008. They urge all eligible donors to make a commitment to donate on a regular basis in 2009. The following dates are scheduled for 2009 Jan. 15, March 12, May 7, July 16, Sept. 17, and Nov. 19. Please place these dates on your calendar and remember to give blood. The blood program in Turner County was successful mostly due to the generosity of the students at Turner County High School. At every blood drive during 2008 TCHS students gave an average of over 75% of the blood given. The Health Occupations class at TCHS sponsors one blood drive per year and at each stu dent blood drive well over 100 units of blood are collected.
