About The FBI Citizens Academy

The FBI Citizens Academy programs are offered at FBI offices around the country, allowing business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI. Over the course of six-to-eight weeks members gain a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in the community through frank discussion and education. Candidates are nominated by FBI employees, former Citizens Academy graduates, and community leaders. Participants are selected by the special agent in charge of the local FBI field office.
