National FBI Academy Graduates
The Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy is a 10 week course, in Quantico, Virginia, designed for offering high standard FBI training to police administrators throughout the world. The curriculum is both academic and physical, designed to better prepare law enforcement managers for current issues they face day to day. Courses are required in management, law, behavioral science, communication, forensic science, and physical fitness. Candidates must also complete a 6.25 mile long endurance and obstacle course, otherwise known as the "Yellow Brick Road". Upon completion, each person receives a yellow painted brick.
Only one half of one percent of all law enforcement officers get the opportunity in their career to attend the academy. This is done in part due to criteria set forth by the FBI and various needs of local jurisdictions.

Chief David Carpenter
attended the 206th session and graduated on September 7, 2001. Chief Carpenter completed a 9.4 mile run.
"Attending the FBI National Academy helped me to realize that networking with other officers from different agencies throughout the world can be a great resource. The Academy teaches you how to be an efficient and effective leader with your department. I feel that, by graduating from the FBINA, it has enhanced my career to prepare me for my position as Chief of Police."

Capt. Scott Taylor
is our most recent graduate of the academy. Capt. Taylor attended the 220th session and graduated on March 18, 2005. Capt. Taylor completed all the challenge runs, including the "Yellow Brick Road" and
received the coveted yellow brick.
"I attended the academy in the winter session. Running in the snow
is a unique experience that every southern person should try at least once in
their lifetime. My roommate was from Romania. I spent ten weeks
learning about him, his culture, and how Romanian police operate. We spent
a lot of this time trying to figure out what we were saying to each other.
I have attended many law enforcement schools in my career. Nothing has
compared to the FBINA. It has set the bar to such a high level that I
don't ever expect to attend training that could surpass this total
experience. I returned to the Daphne Police Department a much more
confident administrator that feels more prepared to handle challenges that are
ahead of me. Attending the FBINA should be the career goal of every police
officer throughout the world."
