ASSOCIATION PERSPECTIVE

Bill Carbone

A s the FBINAA continues to uphold its mission of leadership, camaraderie, and service, the milestones of 2025 serve as a testament to the resilience and dedication of our members. This year has been marked by remarkable accomplishments, heartfelt celebrations, and a renewed sense of purpose within our as sociation. Here, we take a moment to reflect on the highlights, congratulate outstanding individuals, and look ahead with hope and determination. The FBINAA Youth Leadership Program (YLP), our priceless jewel, remains one of the most impactful initiatives of our associa tion, shaping the future leaders of tomorrow. The 2025 cohort of YLP graduates has demonstrated exceptional talent, commitment, and integrity throughout this transformative experience. As these young leaders step into the future, we extend our warmest congratulations for their achievements and growth. Each member of the cohort was exceptional. For instance, Aleksandria Spasic, daughter of Srdjan Spasic, European Chapter, NA Session 245, is an outstanding student like all our YLP Graduates, but she is 2024-2025 National Taekwondo Champion of Serbia for her weight class (-55kg) and a competitive swimmer who speaks multiple languages. The YLP truly draws the best of young people from around the world. A heartfelt thank-you also goes to the counselors, whose dedication and mentorship have guided these students every step of the way. Your commitment to shaping the next genera tion exemplifies the values of the FBINAA—service, leadership, and community. You have left an indelible mark not only on these graduates but also on the future of our Association. The Maryland Delaware Chapter’s 2025 Training Confer ence was nothing short of exemplary. With a robust lineup of sessions and speakers, the conference showcased the value of collaboration and professional development within our Associa tion. Attendees left inspired and equipped with skills to address the challenges of today’s law enforcement landscape. A special thank you to Mr. Tim Tebow for joining us and providing such an inspirational speech. Beyond the enriching sessions, the chapter elevated the experience with an unforgettable concert by .38 Special, remind ing us of all, of the importance of camaraderie and celebration. Congratulations to the Maryland-Delaware Chapter for organiz ing such a stellar event and thank you for your unwavering com mitment to excellence! As we move forward, it is essential to honor those who have shaped our path. This year, we extend our profound gratitude to Craig Petersen for his service as National President. Craig’s leadership has been a guiding light during his tenure, ensuring that the FBINAA remains strong, united, and purposeful. His vi sion and dedication leave a legacy that will continue to resonate. I would like to personally thank Craig for his friendship and guid ance over the past couple of years. Celebrating Achievements and Looking Ahead: FBINAA 2025 Highlights In Honor of Leadership, Development, and Community

Similarly, we thank Mike Hardee for his service as National Chaplain. Mike’s steadfast support and spiritual guidance have been pillars of strength for many within our association. His engagement with members and ability to bring comfort during challenging times reflect the true spirit of the FBINAA. Mike is the 2025 Livio Beccaccio Award winner. Mike’s dedication to the standards set forth by Special Agent Livio Beccaccio life makes him the person we have come to know: his community service, leadership, and his lifetime of service to his fellow man. Mike was also recognized by his home Chapter Florida this summer in Naples, when he was awarded the Doug Muldoon award for Leadership for his dedicated work in the State Chapter in Florida in addition to the rest of the Association. Congratulations to Mike and thank you to his family for sharing Mike with the FBINAA. The Les Davis Award was presented by President Petersen to Chief Linda Atterberry, NA Session 222. Linda was recognized for her service to both her community and the FBI National Academy. The Les Davis Award is presented by the FBI National Academy Association to recognize outstanding contributions to the field. Additionally, the award has been presented to various indi viduals, including retired law enforcement officials, highlight ing its recognition of excellence within the FBI community. As the FBI National Academy moves into the next chapter of its journey, we are thrilled to welcome new members to our Board. Section III Representative James Crayton and our new Chaplain Kevin Jensen who comes to us from Section I. These individuals bring fresh perspectives, skills, and passion to their roles, ensuring that the association continues to thrive and meet the evolving needs of its members. We would also like to recog nize our 3rd Vice President Tim Cannon out of Section III. Tim has been designated the new Chair of the Training Committee and he along with Tony Bailey and the Committee members will continue to bring our training to new and exciting levels. At the same time, we wish Past President Scott Rhoad, and his family continued success in their future endeavors. Scott’s contributions have been invaluable, and his legacy within the FBINAA will remain deeply cherished. We thank him wholeheart edly for his service and commitment. And his family for the sacrifice over the past years.

FBINAA’s achievements in 2024-2025 reflect the dedication and passion of our members, leaders, and chapters. As we honor the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the 250th birthday of America and the 2026 National Academy Training Conference in Niagara Falls, we are reminded of the strength and resilience that define our association. Here's to continuing the work that makes the FBINAA an invaluable network for law enforcement professionals across the globe. Let us move forward with pride, purpose, and unity, ensur ing that 2025-2026 and beyond are filled with even greater accomplishments and stronger bonds. Congratulations to all for making this year unforgettable!

As we transition into the 2025-2026 term, our mission remains steadfast: to raise our active membership and continue enhancing member benefits. To achieve this, we challenge every active member to engage at least one former member and encourage them to return to active status. If we can reach a 33 percent success rate our active membership will reach 19,000. Reconnecting with these individuals not only strengthens our association but also fosters a sense of belonging and unity. Moreover, the Board remains committed to improving the benefits offered to our members. In the coming months you will see targeted emails regarding all the benefits Director Jennfier Watson and her team along with the Membership Committee have obtained for our members. By focusing on initiatives that address professional development, support systems, and mean ingful engagement, we aim to provide value that resonates with every member of every Chapter. I would like to thank everyone who supported the Maryland/ Delaware Chapter who put on a great show. .38 Special per formed a great concert, and the Boardrooms were well attended and a great deal of spirited and vital networking took place. I would like to thank NYS Attorney Generals Chief of Major Investigation (Ret) Antoine Karam, NA Session 228, Vice Presi dent of Financial Crimes at Pioneer Bank for administering the oath of Office of the President.

NATIONAL OFFICE UPDATE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

FBINAA.ORG | Q3 2025

Jeff McCormick

B altimore was an amazing setting for our 2025 FBINAA National Annual Training Conference (NATC). Congratulations to the Maryland/Delaware Chapter for hosting such a successful and memorable conference! In addition to Crab Feasts, “The Boardroom,” and Rock and Roll with .38 Special at FBINAA Night, our members received world class training from the leaders at the forefront of the law enforcement profession. Additionally, we had one of the most robust exposition halls of any NATC, filled with sponsors and exhibitors who ensured our members were up to date on the most advanced technology, programs, and services available to our law enforcement officers and agencies. And as always when FBINAA members gather, new relationships are formed, old friendships are renewed and strengthened, and you could sense the camaraderie and feeling of shared commu nity in the air. For those of you who missed this conference be sure to check out the photos and links to videos from the venue and events in this magazine! I urge all of you to make plans now to attend an upcoming NATC (Niagara Falls in 2026, Phoenix in 2027, and New Orleans in 2028). There is no other event that can compare for FBINAA members! Congratulations to our new Association President, Bill Carbone, and our new Section III Representative, James “Jimmy” Crayton. Bill is a proud graduate of Session 217, and a dedicated and deeply committed member of the FBINAA. He has always been a devoted advocate as a member of the National Board, and will be a strong leader for the FBINAA. I look forward to his leader ship in the coming year. Learn more about Bill by reading his article and interview in this issue. Jimmy is a graduate of Session 279, from North Carolina. Jimmy is an experienced leader, will be a vocal and engaged representative for Section III, and is an excit ing addition to our outstanding National Board. Congratulations also to our Past President, Craig Petersen. Craig’s wisdom and compassion was always at the heart of his tenure as the President of the FBINAA, and while I look forward to our continued friend ship, I will miss the frequency and depth of our discussions.

I would also like to thank our sponsors. Without their sup port we could not put on such a world-class event as the NATC for our members. We also could not continue to effectively live up to our mission of impacting communities by providing and promoting law enforcement leadership through training and networking. Our sponsors, whether new to our association, or with us for decades, are not only our partners, but become like members of our FBINAA family. Thanks to all our members for supporting them as much as they support us. Finally, please join me in expressing admiration and ap preciation for the FBINAA National Office Team. Their dedication to mission and the members of this association is evident in everything they do throughout the year. Do not hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can serve you, the members of the World’s Strongest Law Enforcement Leadership Network!

Warmest Regards,

Jeff McCormick FBINAA Executive Director

MEET YOUR NEW FBINAA PRESIDENT

FBINAA.ORG | Q3 2025

NA: President Carbone, congratulations on your appointment to the presidency of the FBINAA. Can you share with our members the journey that has led you to this position? BC: I was sworn into the NYPD Police Academy in the largest class in the history of the NYPD–3500+ probationary police officers. During my career, I had the good fortune to work for many FBINAA alumni. As a detective, I worked directly for some NA grads and learned what the Academy was about. Listening to the stories about their time at Quantico and the people they met fueled my desire to attend. When I was promoted to sergeant, I applied for my first interview in 1989. Fourteen interviews later, I was selected and attended NA Session 217. Upon my return after graduation, I was encouraged to at tend events. The NY/EC Chapter conducts between 10-12 events in the NYFO each year. I quickly started assisting with events and then running events for each session like the NYPD shoot, holiday events, and the NYPD Trip. Soon, I was selected to the NY/EC Board and began my trip up the Chairs, a nine-year process ending as the Chapter President in 2017. It was during my time as 1st VP of the Chapter that I decided to run for the National Board, being elected in 2018 at the Quebec City NATC. NA: During your seven-year tenure on the National Board, what stands out as the Association's most significant achievement? BC: Building our training program to where it is today, working with people like John Kennedy and Tony Bailey, who are both great visionaries. These two men wanted to make it work for our members and those who are not our members. I enjoyed many conversations with John while Chair of the train ing committee, and I enjoy working with Tony, who is always thinking about improving our position in the training arena. I also believe that the hiring of Executive Director McCormick was a pivotal decision made by the Executive Board to build transparency with our membership and partners. NA: What are you hoping to bring to the FBINAA as president? BC: I hope to continue to grow our training programs and hopefully go internationally to our Training. We have conducted some training with our Canadian alumni, and they enjoyed the experience. I would like to make headway into Europe first and then the rest of the International after we set up the ground work for the programs. NA: What stands out as the most significant challenges and potential areas for growth for the FBINAA? BC: In 2017, our national membership was more than 17,000 active members. We currently stand just under 14,000. I would like to see our active membership grow to 17,000+ over the next year. Getting our members back will be the biggest challenge. Our membership team, led by Jennifer Watson, is working tremendously hard to get alumni back on board. However, those three professionals in our membership team can’t do it alone. I am going to chal lenge the 44 Chapters and the four International Chapters to pitch in and help. Many of the Chapters are already doing a great job with their membership and getting alumni back to the Association. There are many great benefits to being an active member and the Membership team continues to work hard

Continued from "Meet Your New FBINAA President", on page 15 building the benefits of membership. Membership issues are af fecting many Associations around law enforcement. We just need to push a little harder. NA: What strategies might you implement to foster member participation with our association? BC: If every member can contact a session mate or a workmate who is no longer active with the Association and have them reconnect with the Association, we will double our membership numbers. But that plan is highly unlikely to succeed. However, if three active members can bring one inactive member back to the association, we will grow by about 3,000 to 17,000 again.

The Association will be issuing a challenge to our Chapters. The three fastest-growing chapters during the 2026 membership re newal period, starting this fall, will win some very nice prizes. The Chapter president of the first place Chapter will be awarded a free registration to the 2026 NATC at the Falls, and a room upgrade.

T his year, we proudly celebrate 90 years of the FBI National Academy — a program that has profoundly shaped the global law enforcement community. Over nine decades, the Academy has become more than a professional development experience; it’s a proving ground for leadership, a forge for life long friendships, and a source of inspiration that echoes through thousands of departments and families around the world. The National Academy is built on stories — stories of students who, while still attending, helped each other solve com plex cases back home. Stories of perseverance, like those who took life-saving action during the Yellow Brick Road, enabling a fellow student to cross the finish line. That yellow brick has come to symbolize the sacrifices made by loved ones, making it pos sible for leaders to step away, grow, and return stronger. The experiences shared at the Academy reflect the evolving complexity of modern law enforcement and the humanity of those who serve. These stories represent not just career accomplish ments, but a life well lived — surrounded by partners, colleagues, and friends who understand the weight and the honor of the badge. When we’re not teaching, we’re often reflecting — grieving those we’ve lost, celebrating milestones, and remembering the people who’ve shaped our community.

MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY WITH TECHNOLOGY: BEST PRACTICES FOR MODERNIZING WORKFLOWS WHILE STAYING ON BUDGET

28 FBINAA.ORG | Q3 2025

In a recent survey, 89 percent of law enforcement department leaders said they face significant staffing challenges and are turning to AI and mobile technologies to help mitigate against the impact. However, one in four departments struggle to deploy and maintain new technologies. P artnering with the right technology provider can help department leaders overcome technology-related chal lenges and deploy the latest solutions, including rugged mobile devices. The right provider can also deliver cost-efficient services that align with today’s limited budgets. Let’s dive into a few best practices for a budget-friendly, modernized tech deployment that streamlines officer workflows. CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECH STARTS WITH ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS Especially with tight budgets, it’s imperative for department leaders to select technology solutions that are cost-effective and durable, so they can improve operational police work efficiency immediately and deliver long-term value. Choosing the right technology solutions comes down to department leaders asking their technology providers the right questions. For example, a department leader looking to upgrade patrol officers’ mobile data terminal (MDT) should first consider how the devices are being used and where. Will the device be able to with stand the weather elements and rough usage that naturally comes with working in the field? Or is there a way to reduce the amount of equipment inside the vehicle by combining the devices? In this case, getting a 2-in-1 device, like the TOUGHBOOK 33, is a great op tion. The TOUGHBOOK 33 helps officers save space in their vehicles and offers the flexibility to convert the device into a tablet when they need to work away from the vehicle. Add-ons like a barcode scanner for driver’s licenses can further improve efficiency. The device also provides strong connectivity options and embedded antennas, giving officers more reliable real-time communication. When consulting with the tech provider, leaders should also ask about the durability and reliability. To operate consistently in challenging field conditions, devices should have a rugged design so they can withstand drops and spills. They should also be able to operate well even in rain, extreme cold, and extreme heat. Rugged laptops, tablets, and 2-in-1s that are designed to handle harsh environments reduce the likelihood of downtime and costly repairs. In addition to a durable design, rugged devices often come equipped with other useful features, like sunlight viewable screens. This means officers can still operate their devices even as the sun beats down, avoiding a glare for maximum visibility. Similarly, night mode – allows officers to operate the computer discreetly without giving away their location while on a stakeout

and can reduce eye fatigue during a night watch. There is even an option for stealth mode that can be activated to keep sensitive information unviewable from prying eyes. In addition to durability, it's crucial to select devices that are modular to future-proof the investment. For instance, if a depart ment deploys a fleet of modular laptops with fingerprint readers, but three years later decides to upgrade to smart card readers, there’s no need to replace all the laptops. Instead, thanks to the modular design, the department can simply purchase SmartCard Reader xPAK and swap them in to replace the fingerprint readers. This effectively extends the lifetime of the devices, maximizing their value. THE RIGHT TECH PARTNERSHIP INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR IT Having more devices in rotation to streamline officer work flows can simultaneously increase IT workloads. With a large de vice fleet spread across the department, it takes IT teams longer to track, service, and update devices to avoid workflow delays. Working with a trusted tech vendor gives IT teams the support they need while staying within budget constraints. Tech vendors are especially helpful with deployment efforts to help with planning, deployment, and maintenance. IT teams will often need help to avoid being overwhelmed during large de ployments, consultations, and general maintenance and updates. Tech vendors can provide relief for IT teams day-to-day work flows by alleviating these duties. This support allows IT teams to concentrate on their main work load and reduce the number of vendors they need to communicate with. A tech vendor who offers skilled deployment as well as installation and setup services can assist the IT team and help ensure that devices are ready to use right out-of-the-box. Custom in-vehicle mounting solutions ensure devices stay securely docked while the vehicle is in motion. This also provides officers with an ergonomic set up for using devices in the vehicle to type reports and look up critical information. Some tech vendors also offer warranties, which help give depart ments peace of mind and ensure the longevity of solutions. Keeping track of an entire inventory of technology is time consuming for IT teams. Working closely with a tech vendor can help streamline access to the latest solutions for real-time asset management and visibility into device performance, including bat tery health, processing speed, and usage patterns. This information makes it possible to predict and schedule preemptive maintenance or schedule repairs in advance. It also reduces the risk of unexpect ed downtime and improves overall operational efficiency. The services provided by tech vendors can support over worked IT teams, and overall contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the agency. LEVERAGING SUBSCRIPTION MODELS FOR ADDED FLEXIBILITY Often the biggest obstacle to upgrading a technology stack is the large upfront cost needed to buy a new fleet of devices or other solutions. While grants can help in certain instances, subscription based models can offer flexibility by spreading the cost of tech deployments over monthly, quarterly, or yearly payments. Purchasing devices through a subscription model gives departments faster access to the latest technology solutions and support services, while also helping to alleviate the burden on

IT teams. Departments can roll out the new fleet of devices they need, without delay, ensuring their employees have the latest features and tools to do their jobs. Agencies that seek out subscription models can acquire technology that is more customizable and scalable, thanks to a simplified procurement process. Many subscription models also include other benefits outside of technology, including warranties, software subscriptions, and engineering services. For example, a law enforcement department can implement a subscription-based package that encompasses rugged devices, installation services, data and device security software, and IT support. Grouping these elements into one subscription service consolidates the department’s IT needs with one vendor, making it easier to coordinate any necessary repairs. And if the depart ment’s needs evolve over the years, they can easily adjust or modify their subscription plan. By using a subscription based model, it gives departments flexibility to move to a new fleet of devices at the end of the subscription period and upgrade to newer technology. EMPOWERING LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS WITH TECHNOLOGY Implementing new tech solutions will remain top of mind for law enforcement departments as staffing issues and budgetary constraints persist. When deployed through subscription-based models, depart ments can support officers with advanced technology while staying on budget and minimizing the burden on IT teams. This makes it possible for officers to achieve enhanced situational awareness and efficiency for more coordinated responses. Identifying the right tech vendor is not only about meeting your agency’s current needs. It is also about selecting a tech vendor who can support your future technology goals and help ensure long-term success.

John Simmons THE HISTORIAN'S SPOTLIGHT Historically Speaking

FBINAA.ORG | Q3 2025

I attended the Chapter Leadership Summit (CLS) earlier this year, an annual event that brings Chapter Presidents, Secretary/Trea surers, and other key chapter leaders back to Quantico for three days of meetings, presentations, and interaction. What a wonder ful opportunity to say hello to old friends and colleagues while making new acquaintances. Being at the FBI National Academy also allowed me to do some historical research. I often receive inquiries from members about significant historical events. Sadly, there are no closets filled with letters from Director Hoover or other communications from the distant past. The best source of historical information remains the session yearbooks and the larger historical yearbooks printed on select anniversaries, the most recent of which was the 75th Anniversary Edition (which is still available online). I had the opportunity to address the CLS attendees and asked that each chapter consider appointing a historian. The real source of our Association’s history rests soundly in each of our chapters. Some chapters already have very active historians, and I truly appreciate all the time and effort they put into their positions. I regularly receive emails from Gina Di Napoli, Califor nia Chapter Historian. She does an amazing job and would be an amazing source of information for other chapters. I dug into the three white legal boxes containing items of NA historical value. There were lots of photos, programs and flyers. Some of the items were mailed to the NA by either the member or, upon their passing, their family. Please consider sending NA related items of historical significance to the National Office. It would be wonderful to build a central collection of our history in the place where most of our NA journeys began – Quantico. Here are a couple of tidbits I ran across while digging in those three boxes… First, Director Hoover attended every graduation up until the 39th Session, which occurred on October 1, 1948. He was ill for both the graduation and group picture. His picture was superimposed on the prints “to let everyone know he was with them in spirit.” Second, on July 25, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote Director Hoover a letter of congratulations. In part it read, “I extend to you my personal message of greetings on this day which marks the occasion of the graduation of the nineteenth class of the FBI National Police Academy. During my administration I have witnessed the establishment by you of the National Police Academy as an integral part of the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion. Under your direction and inspiration this Academy has made an important contribution to the police of the Nation.” President Roosevelt also congratulated Director Hoover on the 25th Anni versary of his official services with the U.S. Department of Justice, which was on July 26, 1942. We have a wonderfully rich history and I intend to share the stories of graduates, both past and present. One young man, Steve Cox, NA Session 143, of the Kansas/Western Missouri Chapter, is a shining example of service above self to this great Association. His contributions are many, having served as the secretary/treasurer of the New Mexico Chapter from 1999 until he returned to Kansas in 2013. Soon after his return he assumed the role of secretary/

treasurer for the Kansas/Western Missouri Chapter. His dedication to the FBINAA doesn’t stop there. He joined the FBINAA Charitable Foundation Board in 2012, and served from 2017 until recently as the vice chair. During that time he chaired the selection com mittee for the Science and Innovation Award, led the selection process for new directors and co-chaired the wine program effort. He continues to serve the Foundation as a director-at-large. I sat down with Steve and his lovely bride of 52 years, Helen, for an interview while we attended the Spring Retrainer of the Kansas/Western Missouri Chapter in Manhattan, Kan. He told me he has but two reasons to get out of bed each morning – to spend time with Helen and to accomplish his many tasks associated with his state and national FBINAA obligations. Fortunately, Steve has no plans to retire! We talked about national conferences…I can’t recall one that he and Helen didn’t attend! He said his favorite was in Quebec City. Like many other attendees Steve and Helen tacked on some vaca tion travel both before and after the conference. He also said he played a part in getting the 2004 conference to Kansas City. Several years earlier he was attending a conference in St. Paul, Minn. The chapter folks were invited to a “BBQ” in the park across the street from their hotel. When they arrived they discovered that ”BBQ” in Minnesota consisted of hamburgers and hotdogs! The group agreed NA members from around the world needed to sample real BBQ in Kansas City! Kansas City won the 2004 conference and held a great event but Steve missed out on all the hard work leading up to the event…he and Helen moved to Albuquerque, N.M., in 1998... Steve said one of his proudest achievements was selecting past Chapter and National President, Sid Mitchell, NA Session 167, for attendance at the FBI National Academy. He encouraged him to remain active, run for the Chapter board and ultimately run for the National board. Steve shared with me one qualification few other NA mem bers possess – he is a licensed hot air balloon pilot! Immediate Past President Scott Rhoad, NA Session 217, recog nized Steve during last year’s National Training Conference in Kansas City by awarding him the Les Davis Award. Steve is a shining example of dedicated service and I’m proud to call him my friend.
