Dover Police Lt. Mark Nadeau graduates from FBI leadership program

posted on 10/4/2023

Dover Police Lt. Mark Nadeau has graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy, becoming the second officer from the department to complete the prestigious program.

Nadeau was among 199 law enforcement officers from 46 states, Washington, D.C., and 21 countries to graduate Sept. 14 from the 10-week FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, the agency's 287th session. He was the only New Hampshire officer in the graduating class. Fewer than 1% of officers have the chance to attend the academy, which provides advanced leadership, fitness, and communications training. Participants must have outstanding records within their departments to be selected.

On average, graduates have 21 years of experience in law enforcement. Many go on to executive roles when they return to their agencies.

Dover Police Chief William Breault is the department's only other active officer to complete the program.

An 18-year veteran, Nadeau commands the Special Services Bureau, overseeing the special investigations, crime scene, and legal units.
