The Peachtree City Police Department will be hosting a Adult Community Emergency Response Team class beginning Sept. 15. The classes will be held each Thursday for (10) ten weeks concluding Nov. 17. The classes will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last until approximately 9 p.m.
“This will be a highly informative and interesting learning experience,” according to a spokesperson. “The CERT program will offer valuable insight into the first few critical hours following an emergency-related event and how individuals can become empowered to better prepare to sustain themselves and their families.”
Prospective candidates must be at least 18 years of age and residents of Georgia. Applicants will be required to sign a Waiver of Liability form and will be subject to a criminal history background check as a pre-condition to acceptance into the program.
There is no charge to attend this class; however, the class size will be limited.
More information about the Community Emergency Response Team can be obtained by visiting www.cert-peachtreecity.com or by calling 770-487-8866.
Applications are available online or may be obtained from the front lobby of the Police Department.
Application deadline is Sept. 1.
