Villalpando graduates FBI Academy

Thursday, October 4, 2018

Hays County Sheriff’s Office Captain Julie Villalpando graduated with distinction from the 10-week F.B.I. National Police Academy in Quantico, VA on Thursday, Sept. 13. 

Capt. Villalpando is a life-long San Marcos resident and graduate of Texas State University with a B.S. in Applied Arts and Science with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. 

She began her career at the HCSO as a receptionist in 1991 and was promoted through the ranks. In April 2017, Villalpando was named captain of the Corrections Bureau. As such, she supervises 150 jail, maintenance and human resources personnel who oversee the day-to-day operations of the jail and management of 600 inmates. She is proactively engaged as an advisor with county officials and contractors who are building the new jail expansion. 

The FBI National Academy is a professional course of study for both U.S. and international law enforcement and correctional leaders/managers. Villalpando, a 28-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, was nominated by Sheriff Gary Cutler to attend this prestigious institution of higher learning, which is accredited by the University of Virginia. 

Villalpando attended classes dealing with contemporary law enforcement issues, employment law, essentials for law enforcement leaders, emotional intelligence and fitness. 

Her graduation has brought to fruition a major goal of Cutler —to  have a command staff with an accomplished level of training both academically and in law enforcement issues. 

Cutler’s command staff now all hold college degrees and have graduated from the FBI National Academy.
