President's Message

Aloha Fellow FBI NAA Hawaii Chapter Members,

It is an honor to serve as President of the FBI National Academy Associates Hawai‘i Chapter. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our Immediate Past President, Thomas Shopay III, for his leadership, dedication, and service to our chapter. His efforts, along with the support of our executive board and members, helped continue the strong tradition of fellowship, training, and professional development that defines the FBI NAA Hawai‘i Chapter.

As we move forward, I am excited about the opportunities ahead. Our chapter remains committed to strengthening the bonds formed through the National Academy, supporting one another as law enforcement leaders, and providing meaningful training and networking opportunities for our members throughout Hawai‘i.

We look forward to our upcoming chapter activities, including future training events, member gatherings, and continued planning for our next Re-Trainer. These events are more than meetings; they are opportunities to reconnect, share ideas, build relationships, and continue growing as leaders in our profession.

I encourage all members to stay engaged, participate when possible, and share any suggestions or ideas that will help our chapter continue to thrive. Your involvement is what keeps our Hawai‘i Chapter strong.

Mahalo for your continued support, friendship, and commitment to the FBI NAA Hawai‘i Chapter.

Bradon Ogata
President
FBI NAA Hawai‘i Chapter

WHAT IS FBINAA


 
10-week Program

The FBI National Academy is a professional course of study for U.S. and international law enforcement managers nominated by their agency heads because of demonstrated leadership qualities. The 10-week program—which provides coursework in intelligence theory, terrorism and terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, and forensic science—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.

Leaders and managers of state, local, county, tribal, military, federal, and international law enforcement agencies attend the FBI National Academy. Participation is by invitation only, through a nomination process. Participants are drawn from every U.S. state and territory and from international partner nations.
