Mr. Schiff: Most FBI field offices run what is called a
Citizens Academy...
Mr. Rice: "The FBI's Citizens Academy is part of
our community outreach."
Mr. Schiff: That's Special Agent Ross Rice at the Chicago
FBI Field Office...
Mr. Rice: "It's an opportunity for a cross-section
of residents from a particular city or community to attend class."
Mr. Schiff: Rice says Chicago's Citizens Academy was four
weeks of classes...
Mr. Rice: "The final session of the Academy is a
day at our training range up in north Chicago. It's a combination
graduation ceremony and an opportunity for the attendees to
witness first hand demonstrations by our SWAT team, Evidence
Recovery Team, our hostage negotiators as well as learn about
weapons and firearms safety."
Mr. Schiff: The Citizens Academy offers a lot. Check with
your nearest FBI office. I'm Neal Schiff and that's what's happening
at the "FBI, This Week."
