Where in the world is Longboat Key Police Chief Pete Cumming?

For two weeks of each month through the spring, the answer is: Sanford, where Cumming is attending the Command Officers Academy through the University of Louisville.

Cumming was one of 50 law enforcement officers chosen from throughout the U.S. for the program, which includes training in areas such as budgeting, management, leadership and state and federal law.

“It’s a real heavy curriculum, but it’s gonna be a very good training credential,” Cumming said.

During the two weeks Cumming is away each month, Deputy Police Chief Frank Rubino fills in as the island’s top cop.
