CPD Deputy Superintendent Selected For FBI National Academy

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Cambridge Police Deputy Superintendent Robert Lowe this week begins training as part of the FBI National Academy's 271st class. The 11-week program, held at FBI headquarters in Quantico, VA, provides advanced communication, leadership and fitness training for law enforcement officers with proven records as professionals within their agencies, Cambridge police said.

Lowe joined the Cambridge Police Department in 2001 and is the commanding officer for Day Operations and the Community Services Unit, which consists of the Youth and Family Service Unit and mental health, homeless, elder and business outreach initiatives.

He has spent the majority of his career in operations and several years as a Criminal Investigations Unit detective. Lowe will be the fifth active Cambridge police officer to participate in the National Academy, behind Commissioner Branville Bard, Jr., Superintendent Steven DeMarco, Deputy Superintendent Stephen Ahern and Deputy Superintendent Jack Albert.

"As a proud graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 227th class, I personally know how valuable this prestigious training will be for Deputy Lowe," Bard said in a statement. "It is an honor to be selected for arguably the best law enforcement training a police executive could receive. We know Deputy Lowe will gain valuable experience and come back an even greater asset for the Department and the City of Cambridge."
