A Chambersburg police officer has achieved a rare milestone in the law enforcement community. Lieutenant Matthew Bietsch has completed the FBI National Academy’s 294th session, a prestigious training program attended by a small fraction of officers nationwide. The graduation took place on June 5 at the FBI’s training facility in Quantico, Virginia.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Bietsch was one of 239 law enforcement professionals selected for the 10-week program, which focuses on advanced instruction in communication, leadership, and physical training. Fewer than one percent of officers in the United States are chosen for the academy, and candidates must demonstrate a strong professional track record to be considered. The program is known for preparing officers to take on more significant leadership responsibilities within their departments.
The 294th session drew participants from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and included officers from 14 countries, six military branches, and four federal civilian agencies. Bietsch’s graduation places him among an international network of law enforcement leaders trained to take on the evolving challenges in public safety.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This achievement reflects not only on Lieutenant Bietsch’s personal accomplishments but also on the Chambersburg Police Department’s commitment to professional development. Local residents can expect to benefit from the leadership and expertise Bietsch brings back to the force, as the department continues to adapt to best practices in modern policing.
