Our Mission

​The FBI Detroit Citizens Academy Alumni Association is a nonprofit organization separate and apart from the FBI.

​​

We are community-based and a member supported organization designed to promote a safer community through community service projects and a process of educating business, labor, media, medical, minority, religious, government, youth, senior citizens, and other community leaders about law enforcement, with particular emphasis on the mission and resources of the FBI.

Our Vision

As a Chapter of the FBI National Citizens Academy Association (www.fbincaaa.org) , it is our mission to help the FBI lower the crime rate in our city. For decades our City has ranked highest in the nation on the crime index.  We want to make our city safer.  We want to help our citizens feel secure.  


Our vision is to grow our chapter and increase awareness and strengthen community partnerships.  It will take each and every one of us doing something for the greater good.  We want to help.

We Raise Your Confidence

The academy provides the knowledge you need regarding guidelines that our law enforcement partners operate by within the community.  You get an understanding of surveillance techniques, shoot and don't shoot guidelines, evidence collection and all the efforts that the FBI uses to make sure your rights are upheld, and how these efforts impact their daily life.

Knowledge builds your confidence in our community and elevates your understanding of how we can support the Federal Bureau of Investigation on their community outreach programs.
