FLETC selects New Site Directors for its Centers in New Mexico and Maryland
Glynco, GA - The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) is pleased to announce the selection of Jennifer Pellegrini as FLETC’s Site Director for the Cheltenham, Maryland, Center and Dr. Robert Price as Site Director for the Artesia, New Mexico, Center.
FLETC Director Benjamine C. Huffman conducted a swearing in ceremony for both Pellegrini and Price virtually from Glynco on Monday, March 25. FLETC Leaders from each training delivery point were in attendance as Huffman administered the oath of office.
Before her new role at FLETC, Pellegrini was the Special Agent-in-Charge at the Washington Field Office of the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division. In this capacity, she led a team of Special Agents and staff, managed significant budgets, and was pivotal in ensuring effective inter-agency coordination. Her expertise in strategic planning, risk management, program management, and regulatory compliance has significantly contributed to her notable achievements in law enforcement. "I'm honored to have been selected as the new Site Director for the Cheltenham campus,” said Ms. Pellegrini. “And I look forward to collaborating with the team here and with our partner organizations to continue delivering top-tier and relevant law enforcement training."
Prior to entering Federal Service, Price had an extensive law enforcement career to include military, civilian, and academia. He joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in 1993. His early assignments included patrol, narcotics, and staff. Robert was eventually selected for a command pilot position at Air Support Division and later promoted to Chief Pilot prior to his retirement with 21 years of service. Dr. Price served as the Chief of Workforce Development Division and the Training Center at Corpus Christi Army Depot prior to his arrival at FLETC. “I am truly honored to be selected as the Artesia Site Director. I am excited to contribute to the organization’s success and lead this exceptional team in support of furthering excellence within the law enforcement community. Through excellence in training, FLETC positions graduates for a successful career and provides partner organizations with a skilled and professional workforce."
Pellegrini is a highly credentialed professional, holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Maryland and a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Management and Leadership from Webster University.
Price holds an M.A. in National Security Studies from California State University, San Bernardino, and an Ed.D. in Interdisciplinary Leadership from Creighton University.
A component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FLETC provides basic and career-long training to law enforcement professionals to help them fulfill their responsibilities safely and proficiently. Through strategic partnerships, FLETC prepares the federal law enforcement community to safeguard the American people, property, and institutions.
