On May 27, 2022, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) Chief of Staff Mark Strobridge graduated from the twenty-fourth session of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Florida Executive Development Seminar (FEDS), sponsored by the FBI and the Florida FBI National Academy Associates, Inc. The seminar took place in Key West, Florida, from May 23 to May 27, 2022. Law enforcement leaders from across Florida attended.

Chief Strobridge started with the FCSO on January 3, 2017 as a Division Chief and later was promoted to Chief of Staff. He began his career with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) in 1981. He retired from OCSO as the Chief of the Executive Services Division where he was responsible for Processional Standards, Research and Development, Media Relations, Accreditation, Staff Inspections, Facilities Security, Technical Projects and Government Affairs.

As the Chief of Staff for FCSO, he is responsible for personnel actions, professional standards investigations, Business Services Section, Community Engagement and Public Affairs Office, and assists the Organizational Services Division.

“Being selected for this seminar and completing this course is a great honor and accomplishment,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We are always looking for opportunities to enhance our team to serve the community. Chief Strobridge attending and representing the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office allows our team to learn and network with colleagues around Florida to ensure we are implementing the best law enforcement practices in Flagler County. Thank you to the FBI for selecting Chief Strobridge and providing him with this opportunity.”

The FBI established FEDS as a training program designed to provide executive and management training to Florida Chiefs of Police, Sheriffs, and their command staff. It is an intensive 40-hour course that includes classes on leadership, management, ethics, and other topics of interest to Florida’s law enforcement leaders.
