The
FBI Academy is located on the United States Marine Corps Base at Quantico,
Virginia. The Facility, which opened in the Summer of 1972, is situated
on 385 wooded acres of land providing the security, privacy, and safe
environment necessary to carry out the diverse training and operations
functions for which the FBI is responsible. The Drug Enforcement Administration
also has their training academy at Quantico, Virginia.
The
main training complex has three dormitory buildings, a dining hall,
library, a classroom building, a Forensic Science Research and Training
Center, a 1,000-seat Auditorium, a chapel, administrative offices,
a large gymnasium and outside track, along with a fully equipped
garage. In addition to the main complex, there is a mock city known
as Hogans Alley, which consists of facades replicating a typical
small town. The Hogans Alley facades are primarily used for FBI
and DEA New Agent Training, while behind the facades are fully functioning
classrooms, audiovisual facilities, storage areas, and administrative
and maintenance offices. Just beyond Hogans Alley is a 1.1 mile
pursuit/defensive driving training track. The extensive firearms
training provided to all FBI/DEA and other law enforcement officers
is conducted at the indoor firing range, the eight outdoor firing
ranges, four skeet ranges, or the 200-yard rifle range.
The
FBI Academy is a secured facility and, as such, is not open to the
public for tours.
