BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The police chief for the city of
Brunswick has been suspended amid an investigation into an online training
program for officers.
The Brunswick News reports (http://bit.ly/1oV411Y )
Chief Tobe (TOE-bee) Green and another officer, Capt. Mike Melton, have been
placed on administrative leave. City Manager Billy Weeks said Friday they will
remain suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation requested by
the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.
The council in June asked police agencies across
Georgia to look into a glitch in the state's online training system that
allowed at least 500 officers statewide to earn training credits without spending
the required number of hours.
Weeks would not give further details on the
investigation involving the police chief. The newspaper said Green did not
return phone calls.
