#OTD in 1935, the FBI Police Training School, the forerunner to the FBI National Academy, was established. Students were taught scientific aids in crime detection & criminal investigation techniques. With the advent of WWII, courses were added in espionage & sabotage. #FBIhistory 
Today, the FBI National Academy is a 10-week program for U.S. & international law enforcement managers that includes coursework in intelligence theory, terrorism & terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, & forensic science.
The goal of the FBI National Academy program is to serve to improve the administration of justice in police departments and agencies at home and abroad and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide. Learn more: fbi.gov/services/train…
Each National Academy class visits the Law Enforcement Memorial in D.C. for a ceremony to honor & remember officers we have lost in the line of duty, but especially those close to the students & those who have passed since the class first came together at the National Academy.
