SALT LAKE CITY, UT—The FBI Salt Lake City Division is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Citizens Academy through April 18, 2025.

The Citizens Academy is a six to eight week class that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI, with a goal of creating partnerships to better understand and protect the communities we serve.

Classes will meet Wednesday evenings for six weeks, starting August 6, 2025. Topics may include terrorism, cyber-enabled crime, public corruption, civil rights, and financial crimes, among others. Participants will also get a hands-on experience in evidence collection. The session culminates on September 13, 2025, with a “range day” at the FBI’s shooting range.

Attendees must be at least 21 years of age, live and/or work in Utah and consent to a limited background check.
