Wanted By The FBI: Spy Busters

Roberto Santiago writes in The Miami Herald:

Twice a year, after hours in the FBI building in North Miami, a select group of South Florida citizens gets to hear unclassified details on cases like this and many others, getting a first-hand look into a secret world often only seen in the movies or in documentaries.

The FBI Citizens' Academy, a six-week-long series of three-hour seminars -- with a separate firearms training and a SWAT team demonstration session -- is for South Florida citizens who have no prior criminal convictions and can pass an FBI background check. There is no charge for the classes.

Currently, there are FBI Citizens' Academies based out of all of the FBI's 56 field offices, nationwide.
