A former Georgia Southern University student will return to Statesboro soon as one of 12 new parole officers supervising parolees Rhett Moore, 25, of Warner Robins, along with 11 others from across the state, graduated Friday from the Basic Probation/Parole Officer Training Course during a ceremony held at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center auditorium in Forsyth. The course work included supervision techniques, investigation procedures, intervention strategies, criminal and Georgia law, policy and procedure, interview skills, physical fitness, arrest procedures, defensive tactics, computer interaction and firearms qualification, said Steve Hayes, the public affairs director with the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. While Moore is coming to Statesboro, the others will work in Atlanta, Columbus, LaFayette, LaGrange, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Savannah and Valdosta.
