Marysville assistant police chief Matt Simpson was recognized during Monday’s City Council meeting for receiving the 2020 Tom Stone Law Enforcement Executive Development Association Award of Excellence during the recent Federal Bureau of Investigation-LEEDA conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The national award is given each year to one FBI-LEEDA member for outstanding achievement in promoting the science and art of law enforcement management, promoting the exchange of information between police executives, expansion of police leadership training and the growth of the FBI-LEEDA organization, said Marysville Police Chief Todd Ackerman, who is a former FBI-LEEDA National President. “Matt’s name was submitted for the award while he was working for the Washburn University Police Department,” Ackerman said. “While at Washburn police department, Matt had hosted at least 20 FBI-LEEDA leadership classes with 550 officers in attendance.”
