On June 6, 2020, Carson City Assistant Sheriff Daniel Gonzales graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, VA. In a release provided by the FBI, 201 law enforcement officers graduated from the FBI National Academy.
The 290th session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from 46 states and the District of Columbia. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 24 countries, five military organizations, and six federal civilian organizations.
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 10 weeks of advanced communications, leadership, and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, these offices have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions. FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered remarks at the ceremony and Class spokesperson Thomas Sloan, from Round Rock Police Department, Round Rock, Texas represented the graduating officers.
FBI Academy instructors, special agents, and other staff with advanced degrees provide the training; many instructors are recognized internationally in their fields. Since 1972, National Academy students have been able to earn undergraduate and graduate credits from the University of Virginia, which accredits all the National Academy courses offered. A total 55,186 graduates have completed the FBI National Academy since it began in 1935. The National Academy is held at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, the same facility where the FBI trains its new special agents and intelligence analysts.
Sheriff Furlong congratulated Assistant Sheriff Gonzales for his completion of the highly demanding curriculum. In keeping with the departments vision, mission, values, and goals, the Sheriff prides the organization for making training a priority. Ensuring that our law enforcement leadership in Carson City receives the highest levels of training available is a critical feature of our philosophy for engaging with the community and delivering professional services. Assistant Sheriff Daniel Gonzales joins the ranks of other current Carson City Sheriff's FBINA graduates including Undersheriff Jerome Tushbant, Assistant Sheriff Jim Primka, and Captain Clay Wall.
