FBI National

Academy

 

The FBI National Academy is considered the most prestigious law enforcement school available. The academy has long been a vital element in the continuing improvement of law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation throughout the world. The FBI National Academy provides a wide range of leadership and specialized training, as well as an opportunity for professional law enforcement officers to share ideas, techniques, and experiences. Attendees are invited after being nominated by their department. Once nominated, the Officers undergo an extensive background check and interview process. Admission to the FBI National Academy is very limited: only ½ of 1 percent of all law enforcement in the free world is invited by the Director of the FBI to attend the academy. Law Enforcement officers from around the world submit to concentrated studies and demanding physical training for eleven weeks. Upon graduation, the officer joins the FBI National Academy Associates located in their State or region. The Whitfield County Sheriff’s Department is extremely fortunate and proud to have 5 members from the agency undergo this training and graduate from the FBI National Academy.
