Operation 21, LLC is owned and operated by Brian and Anna DeBlois. Brian, being in law enforcement since January of 1997 (+17years) Brian saw the need to educate citizens that had been sentenced by the courts in relation to Georgia Law. Through a detail outline of Georgia case laws, Federal Firearms Act and Firearms on Federal Property, not through interpretation but from an enforcement perspective. Laws are explained as what is acceptable in our community; elements of the crime, reading/ understanding O.C.G.A., and a detailed explanation of the consequences for their actions. This process better educates the gun owner and has proven to reduce recidivism by giving the tools to citizens in our community to make better decisions in the future. An overall respect is gained in the process for law enforcement, prosecutors, and the court system in general as gun owner become more responsible.
As Pretrial Diversionary programs are becoming more and more utilized within our community as the focus has become more on changing behavior through educational programs. The overall goal is to reduce recidivism through education while saving prosecution and judicial resources for more serious crimes. This program will help avoid formal prosecution and labeling of citizens who violate the gun laws within our community. Without helpful programs like Operation 21, violations may become a deterrent in gaining jobs or future educational endeavors.
In today’s society education is the key to success when it comes to saving lives. Operation 21, LLC offers this education to any violator by teaching the liability and responsibility each citizen has when he/she makes a bad choice.
Operation 21, LLC has designed a program for our Judicial System to utilize. Each class is taught by active P.O.S.T. Certified Instructors who are off-duty or retired. Our program includes a Pre-test and a Post-test which a 100% accuracy must be obtained.
