Major Graduates from FBI Academy
Chief Billy Naff announced that Major Chris Nicholson graduated as a member of the 283rd session of the FBI National Academy.

Major Nicholson is the first officer to represent the Bonner Springs Police Department at the FBI National Academy.

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.
