Office of Professional Standards

The Office of Professional Standards is responsible for making sure that each deputy, investigator and jailer is aware of his or her duties and responsibilities during daily operations. The training officer routinely holds classes to keep employees updated on any changes in laws and regulations. Each deputy with the Troup County Sheriff's Office is required to complete a certain number of hours of training each year to keep his or her certification. If he or she fails to meet these tough standards, they will not be able to continue as a law enforcement officer.

The Office of Professional Standards is also responsible for investigating any complaints against deputies, investigators or jailers. This investigation is conducted on a timely basis and the findings are forwarded directly to Sheriff Donny Turner for disposition.

This office is also responsible for regulating bonding companies licensed in Troup County.
