(Middletown, March 20, 2024) – The Connecticut State Police is proud to announce that four members of the Command Staff have recently graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Â
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 10-week sessions which include advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. To attend, participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies. On average, these officers have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.

The following Connecticut State Troopers have graduated:
Â
Major John Gregorzek: Session 285
Major Christopher Fongemie: Session 286
Colonel Daniel Loughman: Session 287
Major Alessandro Giannone: Session 289

During the session, FBI Academy instructors, special agents, and staff with advanced degrees provide training to law enforcement from across the U.S. and foreign countries. Many instructors are recognized internationally in their fields. Since 1972, National Academy students have been able to earn undergraduate and graduate credits from the University of Virginia, which accredits all of the National Academy courses offered.
Â
A total of 54,985 graduates have completed the FBI National Academy since it began in 1935. The National Academy is held at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, the same facility where the FBI trains its new special agents and intelligence analysts.
