The Citizens’ Academy is an eight-week (seven sessions and graduation) program that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI. The goals and objectives of the LRFO Citizens’ Academy are three-fold: 1) to increase public awareness about the FBI, its mission and activities, and its people; 2) to provide an avenue for the FBI to hear and respond to community issues and concerns; and 3) to strengthen relationships and improve understanding between the FBI and the communities it serves.
