Dispatcher/Communications Lab

Our multi-position emergency communications lab features technology found in 911 call centers throughout Georgia. The system allows trainers to relay real-life scenario conditions so emergency dispatch students learn how to effectively receive, process, and dispatch for a multi-agency operation. In addition, the lab allows for multiple students to practice and test simultaneously, simulating an environment that feels familiar to a communications center while letting trainers focus solely on the individual student’s needs.

Forensics Lab

The GPSTC forensics training lab is a state-of-the-facility designed to allow public safety students to practice the forensic analysis of evidence. The lab is equipped with tools and chemicals for processing fingerprints and examining hair, fiber and other trace evidence; analyzing and identifying drugs and the components used to make synthetic drugs; and studying biological evidence found at crime scenes.

Intox Lab

The GPSTC intox lab features 30 Intoxilyzer 9000 instruments used for conducting evidential breath tests on subjects suspected of DUI. Students who take classes in the Intox lab learn the fundamentals of using the Intoxilyzer 9000 devices and, depending on the type of training they pursue, may obtain permits to conduct breath tests using the Intoxilyzer 9000.

Mock Courtroom

GPSTC’s mock courtroom provides a realistic setting for the legal proceedings that public safety officers encounter in their day-to-day operations. State and local prosecutors and their staff also find the mock courtroom useful for practical exercises and legal scenario-based training.
