ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - The Dougherty County Commission discussed several topics on Monday.
One was a Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) agent updating commissioners on training and asking them to accept a $248,000 grant.
GBI Special Agent in Charge Eric Schwalls said COVID-19 affected their ability to get some training done.
Schwalls said they are building up their personnel, but many of them haven’t worked narcotics before. Currently, Schwalls said, agents are training on meth lab investigations.
