The towns police chief is headed home after an extended training session with the FBI. <\/p>\n
Police Chief Paul Shastany wrapped up 21\/2 months at the invitation-only FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va. He will be back on the job Monday. <\/p>\n
Classes at the academy include law, behavioral science, forensic science, understanding terrorism\/terrorist mind sets, leadership development, communication and health\/fitness. The academy has existed since 1935. <\/p>\n
Executive Officer Robert Devine, who has been serving as acting chief in Shastanys absence, called it a momentous day in an email. <\/p>\n
This is a huge occasion for all of us, and we couldnt be prouder of him, Devine wrote. <\/p>\n
Shastany has been writing periodic updates on the training, posted on the departments Facebook page. <\/p>\n
I cannot tell you how great this experience has been. I have many new friends, he wrote in his most recent post. We have come together as a team and will leave as individuals. <\/p>\n
Shastany said he was inspired by the fellow law enforcement professionals he met during the training, including a New Jersey state police captain and a colonel in the Egyptian police force. <\/p>\n
This experience was not so much about academics but rather about the character and commitment of the people, he wrote. The world is a better place because of the type of people that come here and serve their communities. <\/p>\n
