Academy typically return to their agencies to serve as leaders of their
departments in command level positions. Ray has been a leader and a
great example of a police officer for years. His recent training at the
FBI Academy will not only be a great experience for him but ultimately
for the officers who work for him who will also benefit from his
guidance.”
