05/25/10 - The El Paso office recently graduated its eighth class of business and community leaders as part of its annual Citizens’ Academy.
This Academy is designed to provide community leaders with a closer look at FBI operations and investigations. During the Academy, these leaders were introduced to the structure and operation of an FBI field office and given an overview of the services the Bureau provides to local and state law enforcement agencies and the El Paso community.
Other topics of discussion included investigative techniques used in both criminal and national security investigations; violent crime and white-collar crime investigations; and the different violations handled by the FBI. Community leaders also were given a SWAT demonstration, participated in a practical problem, and experienced a day at the range.
The FBI Citizens' Academy is made up of diverse community participants. The Academy is held each spring. Nomination forms are available in late January each year.
Candidates for the FBI Citizens' Academy must:
• Live and/or work within the Division's jurisdiction;
• Be at least 21 years old;
• Have no prior felony convictions;
• Have no misdemeanor arrests within one year of application; and
• Pass a limited background investigation.
