FBI Norfolk Citizens Academy Alumni Association Members are graduates of the FBI Norfolk Citizens Academy who have paid their current year dues.
Each year beginning in April, the FBI Norfolk Field Office hosts an eight week program, where selected business, civic, and religious leaders at least 21 years old with no prior felony convictions come to the Norfolk Field Office to learn about the FBI and all facets of their work in our community. Classes are held once a week for 3 hours, plus one Saturday half day class at a local police training office for “Range Day” and a two-day visit to Quantico and the FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Classes are taught by FBI Special Agents and senior agent experts. There is no charge to attend, but transportation and lodging for the two-day visit to Quantico and FBI HQ is the responsibility of the student. Dinner is provided by the FBI Norfolk CAAA organization and is free of charge. Applications are available between September and December each year. To apply for the Citizens Academy, go to FBI Norfolk Community Outreach web page at https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/norfolk/community-outreach for a Norfolk Citizens Academy Nomination Form.
Once you have completed the course, you will be asked to join the FBI Norfolk CAAA, which gives you the chance to continue your education on topics related to the FBI and safety in our communities, and to perform outreach to our communities to help make our neighborhoods safer.
Membership dues are $50 per year and membership is effective from January 1– December 31. Graduates of the Citizens Academy will join for half price in the year they graduate.
Citizens Academy graduates who wish to attend meetings and events in FBI facilities, participate in law enforcement and role-playing scenarios, and identify as a member of the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association must be current on dues.
To pay your dues, log into your member portal. Be sure to update your profile each year when you pay your dues, or any time changes occur.
Each year, the FBI Norfolk CAAA signs a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the FBI Norfolk Field Office, which outlines what the FBI Norfolk CAAA will do during the year to support the FBI Outreach Efforts. The work we do must align with the MOA.
The FBI Norfolk CAAA is a very active community of Citizens Academy Alumni Association members who:
