COURT HOUSE – On Tuesday, December 12, Chief Jennifer Pooler announced that Captain Tracey Super graduated as a member of the 288th session of the FBI National Academy. The graduation took place at the National Academy in Quantico, Virginia on December 7th, 2023. Tracey is the seventh officer in the department’s history to complete this prestigious program. Nationally, fewer than one percent of officers have the opportunity to attend the program.
“I am extremely proud of this significant milestone in Captain Super’s academic career”, states Chief Jennifer Pooler. “This achievement is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the Department and Community”.
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.
The 288th session consisted of one-hundred and ninety-eight law enforcement officers, who graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. The 288th session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from 45 states and the District of Columbia. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 24 countries, four military organizations, and six federal civilian organizations.
“On behalf of the Township committee and all the people of Middle Township, I want to congratulate Captain Super on his graduation from this elite law enforcement academy”, Mayor Tim Donohue said. “The commitment to attend the FBI Academy requires months away from home and sacrifice by both officers and their families. I’m thankful that our MTPD leadership team is committed to attending to ensure our department remains one of the best in New Jersey.”
