Police Captain Stevens Graduates from FBI National Academy

The Hawai‘i Police Department is pleased to announce that Captain Levon Stevens graduated as a member of the 297^th session of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Academy, on March 18, 2026, in Quantico, Virginia.

Captain Stevens was among 253 law enforcement professionals representing 48 states, the District of Columbia, and 24 countries who completed the program.

A 22-year veteran of the department, Stevens currently serves as the captain of administration in the Administrative Services Division.

Internationally recognized for its academic excellence, the FBI National Academy is a 10-week program of advanced professional study and physical training for U.S. and international law enforcement leaders. Participants are nominated by their agencies based on demonstrated leadership. Nationally, fewer than one percent of officers are selected to attend. The program is conducted at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, the same facility where new FBI agents and intelligence analysts are trained.

In addition to the academic coursework, participants complete rigorous fitness training, culminating in the “Yellow Brick Road,” a grueling 6.1-mile obstacle course through hilly terrain featuring running through creeks, climbing walls, jumping through simulated windows, scaling rock faces with ropes, crawling under barbed wire in muddy water, maneuvering across a cargo net, and more.

“I am very proud of Captain Stevens,” said Police Chief Reed Mahuna. “He is an outstanding leader in this department, and the FBI National Academy experience will serve him very well. We appreciate the opportunity to send our officers to the FBI National Academy, it is an invaluable and important professional development opportunity.”

Since 1947, the Hawai‘i Police Department has nominated several officers to attend the Academy, with 12 graduates currently ranging in rank from Lieutenant to Deputy Police Chief.

“Attending the FBI National Academy was an incredible opportunity to learn alongside law enforcement professionals from across the globe,” said Stevens. “The experience strengthened my leadership perspective and reinforced the importance of collaboration, accountability, and service. I look forward to bringing these insights back to Hawai‘i County as we continue working to serve our community with integrity and professionalism.”
