ATLANTA - An entire graduating class of the Georgia State Patrol’s Trooper School has been fired or resigned amid a cheating scandal, the state’s public safety chief said Wednesday. One trooper resigned after the cheating allegations came to light. He added that the troopers used typed notes, received direct assistance and utilized test questions and answers on GroupMe and on a website that aggregates tests. He also said they used two Snapchat groups to facilitate the cheating and get their stories straight as the investigation was ongoing. McDonough said he’s ordered a complete audit of the training department, which could lead to people higher up being disciplined.
