Cheyenne Police Lieutenant Dan Long recently graduated as a member of the 291st session of the FBI National Academy. The graduation took place in Quantico, Virginia on September 12. Nationally, fewer than one percent of officers have the opportunity to attend the program.

The class included men and women from 47 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, 26 countries, seven military organizations, and seven federal civilian organizations.

The FBI National Academy is a 10-week program focusing on advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. To qualify, participants must demonstrate a proven track record of professionalism within their agencies.

Lieutenant Long has served at the Cheyenne Police Department for 17 years. During his career, Long has been actively involved as a Public Information Officer, arson investigator, and Field Training Officer. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2018 and Lieutenant in 2021. His dedication and care for community have also led to numerous commendations and letters of appreciation from citizens.

“The FBI Academy is a premier training program for law enforcement executives,” said Chief Mark Francisco. “We are incredibly proud of Lieutenant Long for reaching this career milestone and for his continued work as a leader of the Cheyenne Police Department.”
