Trip to Quantico & FBI Headquarters       October 11-14, 2010

 
We're taking a field trip! 
 
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to network with your fellow alumni and enjoy behind-the-scenes tours of FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC and the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, VA.

This is the second year that we will be making this trip.  People who attended last year said that it was highly enjoyable and well worth the effort!  Click here to view photos from last year's trip.
 
 
Who may attend?
 
  • Graduates of the FBI Citizens' Academy (and their spouses/partners or children age 18 and older).
  • Members of the FBICAAA in good standing (2010 membership dues must be current).

 

We are limited to a total of 30 travelers, with spaces being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.  Preference will be given to those who were not able to attend last year, but will be opened up to everyone after September 1st.  Click here for complete list of frequently asked questions.
