“How Can I Help,” You Ask?

When the Beatles recorded “With a Little Help from My Friends” for their 1967 Sgt. Pepper’s album, it is doubtful that they were talking about government service. Yet, half a century later, that very expression characterizes public safety in Woodstock and throughout Cherokee County.

Our community has been recognized as being a safe one numerous times over the last several years. Indeed, the hardworking women and men of Cherokee County’s public safety team are on task 24/7 to keep the peace and promote safety. But many of the public safety successes we all enjoy would not be possible without the contributions of our residents, visitors and stakeholders. They’re a critical part of the public safety equation, and it’s only with their support and cooperation that the quality of life in our communities continues to improve. None of us is as strong as all of us.

We are often asked by Cherokee County residents, “How can I help?” One important way is to get and stay involved in your community.

Did you ever wonder why a fire engine may be dispatched on a sick call or why a patrol car was parked the way it was at an accident scene? Have you pondered how 911 calls are received, prioritized and dispatched, or what the heck an I.S.O. 1 rating is, and what it means to you? An excellent way to find the answers to these and your other burning public safety questions is to enroll in the Woodstock Citizens’ Public Safety Academy (CPSA).

The CPSA is an important component of the Woodstock Police and Fire Departments’ community-oriented philosophy. It provides a forum where citizens, business owners — anyone interested in public safety — can gain a better understanding of how the police and fire departments strive to better our city and county. Enrollment is now open for the fall 2016 CPSA class, which will meet Thursday evenings, from 6:30-8:30 pm, from August 25th through October 27th at the Magnolia Hall Community Center (108 Arnold Mill Road) in downtown Woodstock.

During the ten-week CPSA program, participants will get an up-close and personal look at how their public safety agencies operate and will experience firsthand how police, fire and EMS agencies coordinate to promote safety in your community. Topics include everything from investigations to homeland security, from vehicle extrication to K9 operations and more. The class will also include tours of a Woodstock fire station, Cherokee County Fire Training Center and the new Roger D. Garrison Law Enforcement Training Center.

Successful applicants must be at least 19 years old and live, work or have an interest in Woodstock. They must have no felony convictions and no criminal misdemeanor convictions in the past year.

CPSA enrollment is limited, so apply today! You can help…become a CPSA graduate!

Applications are available online at WoodstockGa.gov/police/cpsa. For more information, contact Officer Ryan Bleisath at 770-592-6000, ext. 1172 or via e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
