Congratulations, Undersheriff Ozment!

information released

The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office is proud to congratulate Undersheriff Ozment on successfully graduating from the FBI National Academy, Session #299.

He was one of only four law enforcement leaders from Washington State selected to attend this session of the FBI National Academy. Attendance is by nomination and highly competitive selection by the FBI, bringing together law enforcement leaders from across the United States and around the world for advanced leadership training and professional development.

Undersheriff Ozment focused his coursework on community engagement, media relations, contemporary challenges in law enforcement operations and wellness—with the goal of bringing back knowledge and best practices that further the mission of the Sheriff’s Office and strengthen our service to the community.

He also volunteered for and participated in the International Partnership Program (IPP), pairing domestic law enforcement and military leaders with international students to share knowledge, learn from one another, and build lasting professional relationships.

“It was an incredible honor just to be nominated, but being selected to attend the FBI National Academy has been the greatest professional opportunity of my life. Learning from accomplished instructors and law enforcement leaders from across the country and around the world was truly life changing.

I’m grateful for the experience and look forward to bringing what I learned back to the Sheriff’s Office and the communities we serve.” — Undersheriff Ozment

The CCSO team is proud of Undersheriff Ozment for representing Chelan County on the national and international stage – and for surviving ten weeks of early mornings, challenging coursework, and enough coffee to fuel a small police department.

Congratulations, Undersheriff Ozment!
