GEORGIA – At a press conference held Tuesday by the Department of Public Safety, it was revealed that 33 new Georgia State Patrol troopers had lost their jobs after it was determined they had cheated on their exams.
All but one were fired, and the remaining one resigned, according to WJBF.
The cadets were with the 106th trooper school and all cheated on an online test for speed detection in October of 2019.
The Department of Public Safety were tipped off by one of their girlfriends, admitting she’d taken the test for Demon Clark online. When confronted, Clark caved and said he wasn’t the only one and that everyone had cheated.
The investigation began into each cadet, all of whom offered up information on their tactics, which included a group text message trading answers.
This infraction violates the Dept. of Public Safety’s code of conduct policy which led to the mass firing Wednesday after the investigation wrapped.
The list of graduates from the 106th trooper school are listed below.
Erguens Accilien from Columbia County chose to resign when he found out the investigation into cheating had been started.
