Ed Kelly, the assistant police chief of the Elk Grove Police Department, has graduated from the FBI National Academy. He was among 300 law enforcement officials from 25 countries who completed the academy’s 229th session.
The Elk Grove police announced his graduation on Jun. 12.
At the academy in Quantico, Va., Kelly spent 10 weeks studying subjects such as law, communication, forensic science, leadership, and behavioral science.
Students must be nominated by their agencies before being accepted, they must also have at least the rank of lieutenant.
In a press statement, Elk Grove Police Chief Robert Simmons noted that less than one percent of the United States’s police officers are accepted into the FBI academy.
“The individuals who are selected are the cream of the crop in their respective law enforcement fields,” Simmons said in a pres statement.
Citizen Police Reporter Cameron Macdonald will have a full report on Kelly's time at the Academy in the Wednesday edition of the Citizen.
