Director’s Community Leadership Award
It’s a fact: The FBI can only conduct investigations and protect the American people from crime and acts of extremism if it has the support and understanding of the American people. That’s why the special agents in charge of each of our 55 field offices work so closely with their communities and community organizations.
What happens when these special agents in charge get such tremendous support from people in their communities that they want to specially recognize them?
They nominate them for a Director’s Community Leadership Award (DCLA). This special award, presented on behalf of the Director of the FBI, was formally created in 1990 as a way to honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in combating crime, terrorism, drugs, and violence in America.
