October 1996




                            FBITN


                New Name For Satellite Training




As of October 1, 1996, the Law Enforcement Satellite Training
Network (LESTN) will be known as the FBI Training Network
(FBITN). Started over 10 years ago as a joint venture between the
FBI and the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department, LESTN has
offered hundreds of hours of training on a variety of law
enforcement topics via satellite.  


For the past year, however, the programs have been the sole
production of the FBI from its training academy in Quantico,
Virginia. The name change to FBITN reflects the FBI's and the
Academy's continued dedication to training law enforcement
professionals worldwide. 


The next two scheduled programs for FBITN are on November 13,
1996 (Major Incident Protocol), and January 8, 1997 (Training and
Technology). The satellite coordinates for these programs can be
obtained from SA Tom Christenberry, FBITN program manager, at
800-862-7577.
