Congratulations to North Carolina's newest group of Probation/Parole Officers. Fifteen officers from Class 9 and twenty-one officers from Class 9A for 2024 completed their seven-week basic training at the Samarcand Training Academy and at the North Carolina Justice academy, respectively. The officers were awarded their badges after being sworn in by Superior Court Judge Michael Stone. More photos from the event are available on the NCDAC Flickr page.
