Greg King Sr. Headshot

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) dedicates its annual Instructor of the Year Award in memory of FLETC Senior Instructor Greg King, Sr. Mr. King passed away on January 2, 2017, after a short battle with cancer. He served as a senior instructor in the FLETC Financial Fraud and Investigative Analysis Branch in the Investigative Operations Division. Mr. King was the program coordinator for the Case Organization and Presentation Training Program and the Internet Investigations Training Program, and was the assistant program coordinator for the Intelligence Analyst Training Program.

Mr. King’s tremendous influence as a law enforcement instructor was far reaching across the country as students throughout the United States attended his training. He instructed at the International Law Enforcement Academy in Bangkok, Thailand, wrote for the FLETC Journal, and was selected as the recipient of the 2015 FLETC Instructor of the Year Award.

On April 28, 2016, Mr. King was recognized by U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, who made a floor speech highlighting his accomplishments as a FLETC employee.

This annual award is dedicated to honor Mr. King’s memory and legacy as he demonstrated the values of FLETC and the attributes of a truly dedicated public servant.
