Congratulations to North Carolina's newest group of Probation/Parole Officers. The sixteen officers from Class 9 for 2026 completed their eight-week basic training at the North Carolina Justice Academy in Salemburg. The officers were awarded their badges after being sworn in by Superior Court Judge G. Bryan Collins. More photos from the event are available on NCDAC Flickr page.
