The Tigard Police Department would like to congratulate Lieutenant Monty Fox on his recent graduation from the 293rd session of the prestigious FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 10 weeks of advanced communication, leadership and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, these officers have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.
Lt. Fox joined the Tigard Police Department in 2000 after first working as a high school teacher. Over the years, he has supervised all patrol shifts, School Resource Officers, K-9 teams and detectives. He has served as a field training officer, firearms instructor, force-on-force instructor, a member of the Washington County Mobile Response Team and a founding member of both the Tigard Police Force-on-Force Training Team and the Peer Support Team.
In 2009, he finished his Master of Management in Public Administration degree from the University of Phoenix. He helped design the curriculum for, and teach at, the Metro Sergeants Academy, which provides instruction and training to sergeants from several departments across the region. As sergeant, he led Tigard PD’s Criminal Investigation Unit, then became the department’s first Professional Standards Sergeant before his promotion to lieutenant in December 2021. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his two adult children and his wife.
Lt. Fox joins other Tigard Police leaders who have also graduated from the FBI National Academy, including Chief Jamey McDonald (266th session), Commander Robert Rogers (242nd session) and Commander Brad Sitton (277th session).
