FBI presents leadership award to American Mays Police Department at council meeting
Summary
An FBI representative presented an agency leadership award to the American Mays Police Department, praising the department’s training and leadership development during the Feb. 18, 2025 meeting.
At the Feb. 18, 2025 meeting, an FBI representative presented a leadership award to the American Mays Police Department and praised department training and leadership initiatives.
Jason Apgar, introduced in the meeting as the presenter, told the council he was representing the FBI and that the award recognizes completion of a leadership “trilogy” of courses. Apgar said the recognition reflects the department’s investment in training and investigative capacity.
Apgar said the award is not commonly given; the transcript records him saying that, since the program’s inception in 2018, 187 agents had received the recognition nationwide. He described the presentation as a sign of the department’s professional development and encouraged the community to recognize the department’s efforts.
Apgar used an example statement during the presentation: “seeing power to change,” later noting, “Never a life sentence,” as part of his remarks on training and leadership. The transcript shows the presentation continued with brief remarks of thanks and arrangements for photographs.
No formal council action or vote related to the award was recorded in the meeting segment provided; the presentation was ceremonial and informational.
