“FBI Houston proudly supports the FBI Houston Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBIHOCAAA). Through the chapters’ continued volunteer, awareness, and outreach efforts, FBIHOCAAA has demonstrated its dedication to promoting community engagement and education. Thank you to the FBIHOCAAA members for their unwavering support of the FBI.

FBI Citizens Academy

The Citizens Academy is a method used by the FBI and law enforcement agencies around the country to engage the community. Held once a year in Houston and also the Beaumont, Bryan, Corpus Christi, and Texas City, Texas resident agencies, the Citizens Academy gives community leaders, business professionals, religious leaders, and other citizens an inside look at the FBI and its operations. The program is seven to eight weeks where participants get the opportunity to meet the men and women of the FBI and gain an appreciation for the job they do. If you wish to be considered for this program, please contact the FBI at [email protected].
