Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers ten weeks of advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, these officers have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.

The 284th session consists of two hundred and thirty-seven law enforcement officers from forty- nine states and the District of Columbia. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 25 countries, 5 military organizations, and 5 federal civilian organizations.

Rand Henderson: “We are proud of Lieutenant Spencer for continuing this legacy in obtaining leadership training of the highest level, and joining a list of distinguished leaders here at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Of the nine in our agency’s history that have completed the FBI National Academy, Spencer will be one of seven people who still serve with this agency.”
