After a yearlong investigation, Georgia officials are clearing 32 cadets training to be state troopers of claims that they cheated on a test.

The cheating claims last year led to the state firing the 32 cadets and the resignation of Mark McDonough, then head of the Georgia State Patrol.

The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which oversees training for state and local law enforcement officers statewide, tells news outlets that it has cleared all but one member of the training class.
