LGRMS will be offering TASER International's eight-hour training course for certification and recertification for ACCG IRMA program members (liability insurance programs).

The focus is to assist smaller agencies who do not have a certified TASER instructor or access to one.

The course will be taught by LGRMS certified TASER instructors David Trotter, Kevin Weigand and Mike Earl.

There is no cost for ACCG IRMA Insurance Program members.

September is Hunger Action Month.  The Georgia Food Bank Association, comprised of seven regional food banks in Georgia who are part of the of the Feeding America network, will join with partner hunger relief agencies to ask everyone in Georgia to play a role in fighting domestic hunger. 

Hunger affects communities all across the country - rural, urban and suburban. Right here in Georgia, more than one in six individuals struggle with hunger.  The problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.
