Phoenix, AZ —The FBI Phoenix Field Office is seeking candidates for the 2025 Citizens Academy. Classes are held in person at our Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff offices.

The FBI Citizens Academy program is an engaging six to eight-week curriculum that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI.

The mission of the FBI Citizens Academy is to foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in the community through frank discussion and education.

Candidates are nominated by FBI employees, Citizens Academy graduates, and community leaders. Interested community members may also self-nominate for consideration.

The deadline to submit nominations for the 2025 Citizens Academy in Arizona is November 1, 2024. Classes begin in early February and run through mid-March.

Incomplete and late nominations will not be accepted. Once nominations are received/reviewed, candidates will be notified within 3-4 weeks of the next step in the process.
