 St. Louis,
like each of the FBI’s local
field offices,
has a community outreach program that complements and
strengthens our many efforts to protect you, your businesses,
and your families in concrete ways through a range
of activities and initiatives.
Our recent activities include:
-
Our Junior Special
Agent Program is established at the Patrick Henry
Elementary School. This program reaches "at
risk" young people and encourages them to
remain drug and violence free.
-
In the Spring of 2009, we held our latest Citizens’
Academy, bringing together a cross section of more than a dozen community leaders to learn firsthand about our operations and programs, not only demystifying our work but creating new contacts and channels for working together and sharing information. We will hold our next Citizens’ Academy in the spring of 2010.
Among our other ongoing efforts:
-

Meeting with minority
groups and civic organizations to
talk about what the FBI can do with them and for
them and hosting town hall meetings as needed
to dialogue on key issues;
-
Sending our special
agents and others from the FBI into schools, businesses,
and civic meetings to explain
emerging crime and security threats and to provide
specific advice on how to prevent being victimized
by these threats;
-
Supporting the graduates
of our Citizens’ Academies,
who often band together in local alumni chapters
to create crime prevention programs and other initiatives
that benefit communities;
-
Serving on committees
and boards for businesses, schools, community groups,
and social and health services
and launching drives to bring food, gifts, and
toys to the less fortunate during the holidays
and other
times of the year;
and
-
Encouraging citizens
to step forward to report crime and to serve as
witnesses in court.
