“Coming together to learn shoulder to shoulder with the brightest of minds within the FBI and other law enforcement executives has been a remarkable experience.”

The prestigious FBI National Academy has been in existence since 1935 providing professionals the rare opportunity to attend the National Academy.  Based on its core values of Integrity, Courage, and Knowledge, the FBI National Academy looks to provide opportunities through academics and career networking for senior executives to build on policing principles.

“I consider it a great honor to represent the State of Utah at the National Academy and a once in a lifetime opportunity.  By every account, coming together to learn shoulder to shoulder with the brightest of minds within the FBI and other law enforcement executives has been a remarkable experience,” Commissioner Anderson stated.  “I welcome the ability to apply these learned skills and developed relationships to ensure we continue to work toward our department vision, ‘Keeping Utah Safe.’”
