Georgia police employment records

Georgia’s certification file covers 236,430 officers who appear in its records between 1901-01-01 and 2024-05-09, across 1,365 agencies, in 482,172 employment records.

The coverage date is computed from the file itself — the basis is the latest separation date. The publisher states May 2024. Source: NPI published bucket. Retrieved 2026-08-29.

Georgia also publishes a separate discipline file: 37,547 incidents through 2024-01-13. It is a different file with a different coverage date, and it is never merged into the employment counts above.

The reporting on Georgia’s police records

WTOC Savannah · April 2026

PIT for Pay: Fired Georgia State Patrol troopers remain certified, one already hired elsewhere

Four troopers were fired over fraudulent injury claims worth nearly $100,000. Three were still listed in Georgia POST records as State Patrol employees after dismissal. One started at a sheriff’s office six days after the investigation closed; his POST record showed the new job but not the termination.

1 in 6 school district officers in Georgia have troubled pasts

School district police rosters matched against state POST records: 15% had prior investigations for excessive force, dishonesty, theft or sexual misconduct — about double the rate at city and county departments. One district ran 27%; another ran zero of 75.

What this data does not say

It never asserts that anyone is currently employed. The supported statement is that a person is listed as employed at an agency as of 2024-05-09, with no separation recorded.
Records are state-scoped. Georgia certification numbers are issued by its own board, so someone certified in two states appears in two files and is never merged into one history.
Measured across the 26 published files as of 2026-08-29, 69,683 officer records are open at two or more agencies at once — a genuine dual appointment, or a separation the board never recorded. Counted per file, never across states. The data cannot tell the two apart, so neither is asserted.

Where this comes from, and how to correct it

This page presents what NPI published bucket made available, as it was released. Some files reach us directly from the reporting agency and some through intermediaries that obtained them under public-records law; either way the content is the agency’s, not ours. CaseParity does not investigate, verify, correct or vouch for any individual record, and takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of what a reporting agency published.

A correction to the record itself is made by the certifying agency that issued it — that is the only route that changes it at the source, and therefore everywhere it appears, here included. If what this page shows does not match that agency’s file, write to hello@caseparity.com and say which record and which field. No response time is promised, and nothing here substitutes for going to the agency.
