September 17, 2026 – Charlotte County, FL
Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Lieutenant Bobby Judd has graduated from the 299th session of the FBI National Academy.
Two hundred and sixty-five law enforcement officers graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia on September 17, 2026. The 299th session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from all over the country, including our very own Lieutenant Bobby Judd.
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 10 weeks of advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. 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.
FBI Director Kash Patel delivered remarks and presented the certificates. Special guest Shaquille O’Neal, an avid law enforcement supporter and honorary graduate, also attended and addressed the class at the ceremony.
“I am extremely proud of Lt. Judd for his success through this incredible program. Bobby has already been a fantastic leader with us, and being selected for this training reinforces what we already know about him. He is smart, driven, professional, and maintains the highest level of integrity day in and day out. I look forward to watching him take his leadership to the next level.”
Sheriff Bill Prummell
