Welcome to the

Wisconsin Chapter of the FBINAA

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Dear Members of the Wisconsin Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates,

It is a privilege to welcome you to another year of service, connection, and professional development with the Wisconsin Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates. As Chapter President, I remain committed to upholding the mission and values of our association and to ensuring we continue to support one another as leaders in law enforcement.

Our chapter stands on the foundation of shared experience, professional excellence, and the strong relationships forged at the FBI National Academy. These core principles guide everything we do, from hosting educational opportunities to providing meaningful ways to stay connected throughout the year.

I encourage all members to remain active and engaged in our chapter activities. Our annual calendar includes a wide range of events—such as the spring and fall shoots, the summer retainer, the winter luncheon, the golf outing, and the family winter gathering—that offer valuable opportunities for networking, camaraderie, and continued learning. Your participation helps preserve the strength of our chapter and reinforces the professional ties that benefit each of us and our respective agencies.

I also want to take a moment to specifically recognize and invite our retired members to remain active in the chapter. Your insight, mentorship, and experience play a vital role in supporting both current and future law enforcement leaders. If you know of a retired member who is no longer active, please consider encouraging them to reconnect with us. Their continued involvement enriches our chapter and upholds the legacy of the National Academy.

Together, let us continue to advance the mission of the FBI National Academy Associates: promoting leadership, encouraging collaboration, and supporting professional excellence within the law enforcement community.

Thank you for your continued dedication. I look forward to working with each of you in the year ahead.

Ryan Shogren
President, Wisconsin Chapter
FBI National Academy Associates

The FBI National Academy is a professional course of study for U.S. and international law enforcement leaders that serves to improve the administration of justice in police departments and agencies at home and abroad and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge and cooperation worldwide.

Its mission is "to support, promote, and enhance the personal and professional development of law enforcement leaders by preparing them for complex, dynamic, and contemporary challenges through innovative techniques, facilitating excellence in education and research, and forging partnerships throughout the world."

The ten-week program was established in 1935 by J. Edgar Hoover and is held at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia. For each training session, four police executives from Wisconsin police agencies are selected to attend or 16 per year (there are four sessions per year). Approximately 250 law enforcement executives graduate during each session from all over the nation and the world.

The Wisconsin Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates is created and organized to promote law enforcement leadership and cooperation in the State of Wisconsin, through continuing education and training, thereby enhancing the standards of professional conduct at all levels of law enforcement.

Our Wisconsin Chapter of the FBI National Academy Association (FBINAA) is made up of over 400 law enforcement command level officers from around the state. It is comprised of personnel from Federal, State, Tribal, County and Municipal departments who are dedicated to their profession, their communities and the Wisconsin Chapter of the FBINAA.

In 2008, our Wisconsin Chapter hosted the National FBINAA Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The theme of that National Conference was "Partnering for a Safer World," which focused on public-private partnerships and the reality that law enforcement cannot do it alone.

With you and your organization as well as other private partners, we here in Wisconsin can build relationships and work together to provide a safer environment for all.
