AUBURN – Auburn Police Deputy Chief Timothy A. Cougle recently graduated from the FBI National Academy, a 10-week program in advanced communication, leadership and fitness training.

Cougle
Cougle is the sixth officer in department history to complete the program, held in Quantioc, Virginia, and one of fewer than 1% of law enforcement officers nationally to do so. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, participants have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions. Auburn PD’s graduates include Chief Jason Moen and former chief Phillip Crowell.
The 284th session of the program consisted of 237 law enforcement officers from 49 states and Washington, D.C. The class included members of law enforcement agencies from 25 countries, five military organizations, and five federal civilian organizations.
“This experience was definitely a highlight of my law enforcement career,” Cougle said. “To be surrounded by, learn from, and connect with some of the best law enforcement professionals in the world was a unique opportunity and an experience I will never forget. I was able to gain perspective and knowledge from people who are doing the same job, facing the same opportunities and challenges, and making a difference in their communities.”
He added, “I’m grateful to my family, my friends, and the team at Auburn PD for the sacrifices they made that allowed me to be a part of this rewarding professional development training.”
Cougle is a 25-year veteran of the department and has been a patrol officer, detective, patrol sergeant and lieutenant. He had been commander of all three divisions within the department: patrol, support services and criminal investigations before becoming deputy chief.
Moen said the department is proud of Cougle. “This is a huge accomplishment, and the experience will serve him – and our agency – well in the years to come,” Moen said.
