DeWitt County Sheriff Carl Bowen announced at the Commissioner’s Court that Lieutenant Investigator Bethany Hobbs has been accepted into a prestigious, 10-week course at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, running from March 24 to June 5. This program is considered one of the premier law enforcement training courses in the world, and participation is by invitation only, with a class size of 265 members, including international students.

“Being selected to the FBI National Academy is very rare. In fact, less than 1% of any law enforcement officer in the country will ever be selected for this training,” Bowen said.
