“They don’t get any better than Chief Jackie Lee,” GMC executive director Col. Nelson Kraft said. “She’s been in Georgia Military College for 20 years now, and she’s done a fabulous job, and we’re just really excited that someone can come through the ranks and take that high of a position.”

Lee, GMC assistant chief of police, has previously worked at the Bibb County Sheriff Department and at the Georgia Department of Corrections.
