ROCKINGHAM – Richmond County Sheriff’s Deputy Braxton T. Greene was recently awarded his certification for having completed tactical training at the North Carolina Justice Academy.
This certificate program is designed to recognize a training achievement of law enforcement professionals who have dedicated themselves to making the communities and neighborhoods safer for the citizens of North Carolina.
Program participants must be sworn members of a law enforcement agency and have at least two years of full-time law enforcement experience.
In order to be certified for this particular training achievement, a participant must complete 500 hours of training (to include a variety of tactical oriented courses) within five years of acceptance into the program.
Richard White, training coordinator and director of the Tactical Program at the Justice Academy, says that “The program has been well-received by proactive law enforcement agencies. Those completing the program have mastered important aspects of tactical training and have achieved a high level of professionalism for themselves and their organizations. The commitment of Deputy Braxton T. Greene to complete this program is a direct example of his dedication to protect the community in which he serves. His effort to stay in the forefront of tactical training is a direct reflection of the commitment of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office to ensure that their officers are prepared to meet the day-to-day dangers faced by law enforcement officers today.”
The North Carolina Justice Academy, with a campus in the east (Salemburg/ Sampson County) and one in the west (Edneyville/Henderson County), develops and conducts training courses for local and state law enforcement professionals on a continual basis.
The Justice Academy provides training programs and technical assistance for law enforcement professionals through the five centers of the Training Division: Commission/In-Service; Investigations; Law Enforcement Leadership; Legal; and Tactical/Traffic.
The Justice Academy is a division of the North Carolina Department of Justice under the administration of Attorney General Josh Stein.
