Trip to the FBI Academy in Quantico VA 2025
On July 16–17, 2025, members of the Newark and NYC FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association (CAAA) chapters had the remarkable opportunity to participate in a two-day trip filled with insight, history, and connection.
The visit began with an exclusive tour of the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia on July 16th, offering attendees a firsthand look at the training grounds where FBI agents are prepared for service. The experience deepened our appreciation for the Bureau’s mission and operations.
The following day, the group explored the FBI Experience Tour at FBI Headquarters, followed by a powerful and educational visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
This enriching experience would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of our COS Arnold Adams, SSA Dustin Doyle, and our President, Dr. Thomas Dawson. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their leadership and commitment to fostering civic engagement and education.
