Two Danville police officers recently graduated from advanced training programs. Lieutenant Kyle O’Brien graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. O’Brien is the second officer in department history to complete this prestigious program.
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.
Chief Chris Yates said, “the department is proud of O’Brien’s accomplishment, and we look forward to see him apply and share his knowledge gained through example and leadership.”
Lieutenant Douglas Miller graduated from the School of Police Staff and Command at Northwestern University. Miller has successfully completed the 22 week program that provides upper-level college instruction in a total of twenty-seven core blocks of instruction.
Lt. Miller is the fourth supervisor in the Danville Police Department to graduate from Northwestern University Center for Public Safety.
