Flagler County Sheriff's Office Cmdr. Joe Barile became the third active FCSO member to graduate from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia on Thursday, Dec. 12.
Barile graduated from the 292nd Session of the academy, joining the ranks of Sheriff Rick Staly who graduated from the 177th Session and Division Chief Jon Welker, of the 286th Session, a FCSO press release said. The FBI National Academy is a 10-week professional course of study for United States and international law enforcement leaders that had been nominated by their agency Chief or Sheriff to attend because of leadership qualities and selected by the FBI to attend.
“This is an honor for Commander Barile and for the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office,” Staly said. “Less than 1% of all law enforcement officers worldwide are invited to attend the FBI National Academy. This is truly a remarkable achievement for our community and agency.”
The program’s coursework includes intelligence theory, terrorism and terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, and forensic science, the press release said. The FBI pays all costs for participants to attend, including travel, training, meals, and lodging.
Barile began his law enforcement career in 2007 as a deputy sheriff and currently oversees FCSO’s Homeland Security and Investigations Section, the press release said. This includes the Major Case Unit, General Assignment Unit, Cyber Crimes and Criminal Intelligence Unit, Special Investigations Unit, Problem Area Crime Enforcement Unit, Crime Scene Investigations, Victim Services, and Cold Case Unit.
Barile is also a graduate of the Florida Sheriffs Association’s Commanders Academy, Class 15; the 25th Session of the FBI’s Florida Executive Development Seminar; and the 3rd Session of the Flagler County Leadership Academy.
