Lt Keith Christine was a member of the 281st session class that started on January 10th, 2022 and graduated on March 17

The FBI National Academy is a ten week professional course of study for United Stated and International law enforcement, taking place at the University of Virginia at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico Virginia. The program provides students with course work in leadership, intelligence theory, terrorism, forensic and behavioral science as well as law enforcement communications.

Participation in the academy is though invite only, and even then is a highly competitive process, with National Academy (NA)  graduates representing the top 1% of law enforcement executives. The 281st session consisted of 258 men and women including 32 international students.

Christine said the NA was a once in a lifetime experience.

“I look forward to bringing back what I learned to my department and to the citizens of Bensalem.”

“The NA was a great time to reflect on my career and re-dedicate myself to serving the residents of Bensalem Township.”

Christine had been serving the Bensalem Township Police Department sine 2003 and is currently the investigation commander.
