On Tuesday June 20, 2023, Sioux City Police Chief Rex Mueller announced that Lieutenant Brad Bollinger has graduated as a member of the 286th session of the FBI National Academy. The graduation took place at the National Academy in Quantico, Virginia on June 8th, 2023. Lieutenant Bollinger is the fourth officer in the history of the Sioux City Police Department to complete this prestigious program. Nationally, fewer than one percent of officers have the opportunity to attend the program.
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers ten weeks of advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, these officers have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.
The 286th session consisted of two hundred and thirty-eight law enforcement officers from 47 states and the District of Columbia. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 25 countries, five military organizations, and six federal civilian organizations.
Lt. Bollinger has been with the Sioux City Police Department since 1997. He has worked on every patrol shift, in the Special Investigations Unit, and as the School Resource Officer at North High School. Bollinger was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2012. He was a shift supervisor in the patrol division and served as the Sergeant of the Youth Bureau. In 2017, Bollinger was promoted to Lieutenant. Since then, he has served as the Watch 2 and Watch 3 Lieutenant, the Lieutenant overseeing records, and is currently the Lieutenant of Professional Standards.
