Bloomfield Township police chief graduates from FBI National Academy

The National Office of the FBI Academy announced that Bloomfield Township Police Chief James Gallagher has graduated as a member of the 292nd session of the FBI National Academy. The graduation took place at the National Academy in Quantico, Virginia on December 12. Nationally, fewer than one percent of officers have the opportunity to attend the program.

Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 11 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 292nd session consisted of two-hundred and fifty-seven law enforcement officers who graduated  from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. The 292nd session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 27 countries, eight military organizations, and five federal civilian organizations.

Gallagher speaks about his FBI training in the latest episode of “Coffee With Carrie.” About the program Gallagher states, “It was one of the best of trainings of my career from the level of the training we got to the quality of the instructors to the partnerships we created along the way. It was incredible.”

Gallagher joined the BTPD in 2000 and served as a field training officer, a dispatch trained officer, and a member of the Oakland County Narcotics Team before succeeding outgoing Chief Philip Langmeyer on July 1, 2020. He earned a Criminal Justice Degree from Ferris State University in Big Rapids.
