The FBI CREST is a shorter, more focused version of the Citizens’ Academy,
conducted in partnership with a community group at an offsite location. Students
learn about the mission, goals, history, and internal workings of the FBI,
but the sessions are customized to meet the needs of each organization.
CREST serves as a means to exchange information between the FBI and the
participating communities. Through this exchange, criminal problems affecting
communities will be identified and addressed. Any two of the topics below
can be selected.
